Jesus is Coming

West Suburban Community Church in Elmhurst, IL

As the frost of winter settles and Christmas carols fill the air, we're reminded of the deep anticipation that Advent brings—not just for the birth of Jesus, but for the promise of His glorious return. My childhood memories, like the treasured Christmas box brimming with festive secrets, serve as a metaphor for the deeper joy and expectancy we're meant to foster. This episode unwraps the profound reflections on Jesus' second coming, aligning our hearts with the eternal promise detailed in John 14:1-6, and how the essence of Advent extends its reach far beyond the yuletide season.
In the quiet moments of Christmas Eve, we explore how to prepare our spirits for the coming King, setting aside the distractions of our earthly lives. Just as families eagerly await the arrival of loved ones with open arms and gleeful hearts, so too should we channel that emotion towards Christ's promised return. I offer three actionable suggestions to keep our spiritual lamps burning brightly, and together we'll lift a prayer, seeking harmony with divine will and a warm embrace for those on the cusp of faith. Join me in this episode for an inspiring conversation that invites you to look beyond the manger towards the horizon of hope that awaits us all.
