Advent Series: “Making Room (part 3)” Choosing Joy Luke 2:8-20

The season of Advent (the four weeks before Christmas) is both a time of preparation and anticipation. We begin to anticipate the Christmas celebration and must prepare our hearts lest we miss out. The bright lights of the season are to represent the Joy of Christmas, yet this season
can be tainted by sadness and uncertainty which often diminishes our ability to rest and rejoice.  The angel announced, “I bring you good news of great joy....”. Today we’ll look at how we can choose joy regardless of our circumstances.
