Sufficient preparation is important. You want to be ready to face the day and any challenges you might encounter. As we began to consider last week, we’re reminded again today that Advent is a season about preparation. But I am not talking about Christmas decorations, buying presents and cooking yummy dinner. Christmas preparation is about our heart. John the Baptist leads us to see that the most important preparation to celebrate Jesus’ first advent or to prepare for his second advent is that we prepare our hearts.

Prepare the way of the Lord (Mark 1:1-8) – a sermon by Pastor Josh Provo on Advent.
