A message from the series "COVID-19." At times in life we need to stop or at least pause. Maybe life has become too hurried, busy or stressful. Maybe we have over-committed or made things more complicated than they have to be. Maybe it is the virus, the snowstorm, or balancing work and home. It just becomes too much.
This can also apply to our spiritual lives. Perhaps we have gotten distracted, apathetic, too rigid, or overzealous. Perhaps we trying to be super-spiritual and at some point our faith stopped being a blessing and turned into a burden.
Today we begin the Advent Season. This is a time of preparing our hearts for the celebration of Jesus’ coming at Christmas. It is a time to step back from the rush, the noise, the stress, and refocus our lives on the Christ child in the manger.
Scripture References: Matthew 1:18-25
