Unfortunately, one of the things that characterizes Advent and Christmas for a lot of people is what I call the Holly Jolly Hurricane — a hurricane of busyness, expense and disappointment!

But it doesn’t have to be that way.

Instead, we can prepare for the birth of Christ and God re-entering into our lives in a new and powerful way in a way that is MEANINGFUL.

One of the ways we can do this is by taking seriously the unpopular-and-much-neglected-but-still-essential process of repentance.

On December 2nd, 2018 at Westminster we explored the powerful words of John the Baptist in Matthew 3:1-12 and four things we can do to prepare for the arrival of Christ in a meaningful way.

Wouldn’t it be great if on December 25th you were able back at your Advent and Christmas and think to yourself, ‘Wow, that was meaningful’?

You can. The message is called “Repentance for Dummies.” Listen in to the 26-minute podcast.
