Volume 2 Theme: A Thrill of Hope
This Advent, join us as we unwrap one of the Bible’s most neglected and misinterpreted books, revealing a thrill of hope that lies within John’s apocalypse. Despite the fear and uncertainty this book presents, at its core it is a vision of Christ’s jubilant return, of the Word of God fulfilled on earth. By engaging with the various images and visions in this text, we will seek the hope in every page, and unveil the promise that lies within the chaos, fear, and anxiety of the world around us today.
If Revelation seems too daunting, don’t worry, we’ve got you covered. The box includes an option to follow the Revised Common Lectionary through the apocalyptic texts that always show up in the season of Advent. From John the Baptist to Isaiah, we’ll uncover a thrill of hope that challenges and uplifts at the same time.
Everything you need to lead your community through worship and discipleship this Advent. Includes:
Two preaching options - Revelation focus or Year C Revised Common Lectionary
Words for the Beginning: Advent Reminders for New Seasons
Advent is a season of endings and beginnings. As the calendar year comes to a close, a new church year begins. Christ’s birth ushers us into new ways of living and loving; and yet, the world as we know it spins madly on. This series is filled with blessings, with the words we need to hear again and again as we begin a new season.

From the Manger gathers around the birth story in Luke 2, embracing the playful symbolism of a newborn Jesus being laid down to sleep in a feeding trough in a town called “House of Bread.” Beginning Advent with the birth of Jesus may feel a bit unconventional. Still, we hope this liturgical dissonance will invite you to reflect on the life-sustaining hope, peace, joy, and love Jesus brings and notice how the baby born in a bread town continues to feed a hungry world today.
