Today’s Sermon
Jesus Wins: A Bridegroom and the Last Battle
Key Scripture
Christmas at Avenue South
What Child is this? Mary must have wondered as she held Him that first night, and it’s the question we’ll explore together this Advent. He’s the Servant and the King, the Lamb and the Lion. He’s the One who came as a baby and will come again in glory. Invite your family and neighbors to experience the wonder of Christmas with us as we worship Emmanuel, God with us.
