This Advent, as we enter a season of waiting and expectation, we’ll be engaging the first two chapters of Mathew’s Gospel in a sermon series titled “Be Not Afraid.” These were the angel’s words to Joseph when he came and announced that Mary’s womb would cradle the Savior of the world (Matt. 1:20). Throughout Advent we will have stories from our congregation reflecting on this command to be not afraid, and we encourage you to sign up online to have this devotional delivered to your inbox each day as we journey towards Christmas.
