ADVENT 2021
season 01, 06.05 | far better things
We are celebrating what God has done in the last year through Kindred Church and in Kindred Church. We are so thankful for each and every person that has called this place home this year, if even for a week. As we start year two of this dream, we look forward to God showing up in ways that surprise us and inspire us again and again.
season 01, 06.04 | peace & light
Tonight we celebrate that Jesus became human. In doing so he became vulnerable to the darkness of this world, too. Jesus enters the world able to be wounded, subject to even death. He put himself in the thick of lives that are difficult and painful, and often, inexplicable. Out of that darkness, comes what we are told is the “true light that gives light to everyone.”
season 01, 06.03 | we don’t wait alone
In this study of Advent, the season of waiting on the birth of the Savior Jesus, we have looked at how God is working while we wait even when it seems like He isn’t & we have explored how this waiting has a purpose, that God is working all things together for the good of those that love him in its midst. Tonight, we will talk about how we don’t wait alone. Emmanuel, God With Us, is at our side helping us navigate the moments in life that we are waiting on and the seasons we are praying through. What are you waiting for? How can you see Jesus there with you this Christmas?
season 01, 06.02 | our waiting isn’t wasted
Waiting can often feel like wasted time. The longer we wait, the more we wonder if that opportunity, the shot at a relationship, or what was meant for us passed us by, leaving us feeling panicky, resigned, or discouraged. Tonight, we explore the Christmas story as told in the gospel of Luke, and what it has to teach us about our waiting never being wasted.
season 01, 06.01 | god works while we wait
Tonight, we begin a small study of the season of Advent. Advent comes from a Latin word meaning “coming” or “arrival”. It’s signified by waiting, as the world waited for the arrival of Jesus who would rescue us. We’ll be taking a look at the Christmas story from four different vantage points as it appears in the four gospels written by Matthew, Mark, Luke & John. Each vantage point has something unique to teach us about waiting and about hope.
