Sunday marks the beginning of the first season in the Christian calendar, Advent. Advent, the Arrival, marks the beginning of a period of expectation, love, joy and peace leading up to Christmas Day, the day we Christians celebrate the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ. The first of four Advent Sundays, it falls on the Sunday closest to November 30th each year.
To commemorate this important time and all it represents to us, Sunday Morning Coming Down's program this weekend will explore Advent. And warning you up front, the presentation will be based upon the way the season is celebrated in the Methodist Church, since that is the denomination of this writer, but there can be a number of variances between different churches, yet all share the same basic tenet. And that is the belief in Jesus Christ and the preparation during this four week period to commemorate his birth while also anticipating his coming to rule the world at a later time. The King of Kings came the first time to teach and save souls, knowing that man was not capable of saving himself. And when He returns it will be to rule the world and banish the Dark Angel to his fatal ending.
I hope you will tune in and listen. It will be available on demand over the weekend and beyond. In addition to a discussion of Advent and its meaning, we will have some appropriate music, including our first Christmas music of the year, a short scripture reading and prayer.
Sunday Morning Coming Down, a presentation of North Florida Writer Live, is offered to provide a devotional weekly to anyone who seeks more information about Jesus Christ and His Church. For those who are sick or infirm, or to anyone who isn't sure about the idea of a living God and a Savior, it's any easy way to learn more as you decide with your own free will what you need for your future both here and in life hereafter.

Enjoy your weekend and God bless you all.
