Advent: Christmas is Not Your Birthday.

The holidays are a time for family and traditions, and what better tradition than observing the season of Advent? Advent is simply “a time of expectant waiting and preparation for the coming of Christ.” Advent will help you see, reflect on, and prepare for Christmas in a whole new way.

Advent is a Latin phrase (adventus) that simply means "arrival" or "come to."

Advent is a daily FOCUS in December to remember why we celebrate Christmas.

The birth of Jesus is too BIG to remember on just one DAY.

The one thing that can hijack your Christmas is GIFTS.

Advent reminds us: It’s not your BIRTHDAY.

If GIFTS are the center of your Christmas, Jesus never will be.

"JESUS, what do you want for Christmas?"

THREE GIFT SUGGESTIONS FOR JESUS:
1. Give GENEROUSLY to something beyond you.
2. Give an INVITATION for someone to join you at Northeast.
3. Give Jesus YOU.

Challenge: This Christmas, let's get to GIVING a whole lot more than GETTING.
