Preparing the Way: Advent Week 2 – Making Space for Jesus
In this second week of our Advent series, Herbie Newell reflects on the theme of preparation. As we enter the busy holiday season, he challenges us to pause amidst the chaos and make room in our hearts for the coming of Christ. Drawing from the example of Mary and the humble circumstances of Jesus’ birth, Herbie explores how we can prepare spiritually by simplifying our lives, practicing humility, and prioritizing time with God. Through reflection on passages from Isaiah and Luke, he encourages us to prepare not just during Advent but every day, creating sacred moments of worship and service. Join us as we learn how to clear the distractions and prepare for the arrival of our Savior.
