How To Be Prepared 4s6o3k

Christmas is a special time of the year when we celebrate family, giving, and hopefully, Jesus' birth.But the birth of Jesus was only half of the point of the early church's celebration of Advent. The early church was looking beyond a singular moment in history, and they fixed their gaze on the second coming of Christ. In Scripture, we see Jesus talking about His second coming through parables in an effort to encourage His disciples and followers to not be caught unprepared when He returns. He describes His return as "a thief in the night," meaning it will be unexpected and sudden. As we enter the holiday season, would you begin to prepare yourself for the second Advent, whether it be soon or a long time from now? What would that look like for you, and how can you take the investments which God has made in you through Christ and invest it into others this season?That's what we're talking about in this week's episode of Monday Moments! 1q1f3u
