The First Sunday in Advent 2021

Advent 1, 2021 - In 1st John 1:1-3 we read that because Christian hope is focused precisely on Jesus, that hope will purify and reform us - it changes the Way we live. This Hope is THE Hope Christians hope for - this is the unique true Hope for all people.

“This is how we know that we belong to the truth and how we set our hearts at rest in his presence: If our hearts condemn us, we know that God is greater than our hearts, and he knows everything. Dear friends, if our hearts do not condemn us, we have confidence before God and receive from him anything we ask, because we keep his commands and do what pleases him. And this is his command: to believe in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ, and to love one another as he commanded us. The one who keeps God’s commands lives in him, and he in them. And this is how we know that he lives in us: We know it by the Spirit he gave us.” 1 John 3:20-24
