Advent | The Call to Prepare

Advent is a season of preparation—not just for Christmas, but for the coming of Christ. In this message, Pastor Dave unpacks the call to “prepare the way of the Lord” from Isaiah 40 and Mark 1, exploring how repentance and readiness align our hearts with God’s Kingdom.

Using the example of John the Baptist, we’re reminded that preparing for Jesus’ arrival means turning back to God, addressing the “rough places” in our lives, and living with an expectant, open heart. Pastor Dave also shares a powerful personal story of a live nativity in Taiwan that demonstrated the true meaning of Christmas and the hope of Christ’s return.

Join us as we reflect on this vital question: Are we prepared to welcome Jesus—not just at Christmas, but in our lives today and when He comes again?
