“His Name Shall be Called…” is the title for our Advent series this year. Over these next four weekend we’ll trace some of the names of Jesus in Scripture and ponder anew the wonder of his majestic person and his merciful grace. We’ll see Jesus in the four weeks of Advent as:

• Hope: Immanuel (Matt. 1:23; Isa. 7:14) — “God with us” — Jesus as fully God will come to be with us by feeling our pain, paying our ransom and bringing hope to broken lives.
• Peace: Prince of Peace (Isa. 9:6,7) – He will bring his people peace, through his death and resurrection - snatching them Satan’s tyranny, and make them free forever.
• Love: Savior (Luke 2:8-21) – In his coming he rescues us from death, locks the door behind us, unlocks the door of heaven, and brings his people home.
• Joy: King of Kings (John 19:1-21) - He will draw the ransomed from every people and make them his own as their King.
