• HOPE • PEACE • JOY • LOVE •
ADVENT
Celebrate Christmas by participating in Advent this year with our church family.
Beginning on the fourth Sunday before Christmas, each of the four weeks of Advent leading up to Christmas Eve will focus on a different theme of celebration and anticipation — hope, peace, joy, and love.
Jesus said, “I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and eat with him, and he with Me” (Revelation 3:20).
Encountering God is not only possible this Christmas season, Jesus said it’s a matter of opening the door.
Light a candle and make space for God’s presence every week leading up to Christmas Eve:
1. Read the overview for the week’s candle (for Weeks 2-4, light each of the previous week’s candles before you begin)
2. Read the candle’s Theme Verse
3. Create a moment of silence
4. Light the candle
5. End with prayer
Traditional
If a more festive approach suits you, here’s what you’ll need:
• Advent wreath, your choice of greenery
• A candelabra/candleholders
• Three purple candles (Hope, Peace, and Joy—Weeks 1–3)
• One pink candle (Love—Week 4)
• One larger white candle at the center (Christmas Eve)
Non-traditional
• Any candles will do
• Add one candle each week leading up to Christmas Eve
The Thrill of Hope | John 1:9-14
This is the Hope candle. The light of this fire represents the spark of hope.
Biblical hope is about a Person (Jesus) who makes us new. Real hope is a new heart with Jesus at the center bringing us new wisdom, a new community, and new life.
John 1:9-14 tells us what happened when the light of hope invaded our world through Jesus. Read these verses before creating a moment of silence and lighting the Hope candle. End with prayer.
The Promise of Peace | Psalm 23
This is the Peace candle. God promises to give us peace through Jesus, just as the angels told the shepherds after Jesus’ birth: “Glory to God in the highest! Peace on earth to those with whom He is pleased.”
In the Bible, “peace” is the word shalom, and it does mean an end to war and conflict, but it also means “complete” or “whole”— maybe another way to say it is “not broken.”
Read Psalms 23 and consider how God promises to care for us and fill us with His peace. Create a moment of silence, light the Joy candle, and end with prayer.
The Anticipation of Joy | Revelation 21:1-5
This is the Joy candle. The Bible talks about a kind of joy not based on feelings, but based on the anticipation of God’s promises.
In the Bible, often the first move toward joy is repentance. Repentance is simply giving up on trying to find joy our own way, and trusting that the life God wants for us is so much better than we want for ourselves.
Read Revelation 21:1-5 and consider the anticipation of joy in God’s promises. Create a moment of silence, light the Joy candle, and end with prayer.
The Giving of Love | 1 John 4:7-12
This is the Love candle. Jesus told us love is the meaning of life. The greatest commandment, He says, is a commandment to love.
Biblical love is not just a feeling. Love is an act, a sacrifice you make, a gift you give, just as God the Father gave Jesus for us.
1 John 4:7-12 gives us the Biblical definition of love. Read these verses before creating a moment of silence and lighting the Love candle. End with prayer.
