John Wesley once preached a famous sermon titled “The Almost Christian” in which he encouraged people to follow Jesus wholeheartedly; to not be satisfied with being an “almost Christian” but instead strive towards being an “altogether” Christian. During this season of Advent, we are exploring how we can make this same commitment during this season of preparation. Each week, we will explore the traditional Advent themes of peace, hope, joy and love, as we break down the barriers that keep us from celebrating an “altogether” Christmas. Join us for worship this Sunday and in our weekly group study and podcast as we claim the promises of altogether peace, hope, joy and love during this season for ourselves and for the world around us.
