AtomThey are playing our Song…the Advent Conspiracy,
Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
The stations are already playing our song: “It’s the most wonderful time of the year”!!
And, without question for God’s people, It Is!! … or at least, it should be!!
And, when Pastor Wade introduced me to the “Advent Conspiracy”, I thought…”Wow, this is a great way for God’s people to be nudged into a redirection of our energy into what makes Christmas the most wonderful time of the year”.
From the website http://www.adventconspiracy.org: (look this up)…
The story of Christ’s birth is a story of promise, hope, and a revolutionary love. So, what happened? What was once a time to celebrate the birth of a Savior has somehow turned into a season of stress, traffic jams, and shopping lists. And when it’s all over, many of us are left with presents to return, looming debt that will take months to pay off, and this empty feeling of missed purpose.
Is this what we really want out of Christmas? What if Christmas became a world-changing event again? Welcome to Advent Conspiracy, a movement calling us to proclaim Christ in how we celebrate Christmas. Advent Conspiracy was started in 2006 by five pastors who decided to make Christmas a revolutionary event by encouraging their faith communities to Worship Fully, Spend Less, Give More and Love All. The response was overwhelming and the Conspiracy was born.
I’m looking forward to our Advent journey this year…as we journey through the 4 parts of the conspiracy…
Worship fully November 29th
Rebel (Spend Less) December 6th
Give More December 13th
Love All December 22nd
And then, as a follow up, I’m also looking forward to offering the “Freed-up Financial Living class” as a way to help God’s people be set free in their financial living to serve and follow Jesus. More on this coming next month.
For today, “It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas” and it is!!
All God’s people are encouraged to make it look like the Christmas God wants it to be, and not just another time in our lives to fill with un-necessary stresses and more.
Blessings to all in our Advent Conspiracy Journey this December.
Pastor Daveto Advent Conspiracy.
