The world is weary. In Christ, the weary world rejoices. As we intentionally carve out time to examine the common themes of Advent – hope, love, joy, peace, and light – we will be confronted with two opposing things: the weariness of the world and the joy of Jesus. We will be participating in rhythms of spiritual discipline – fasting and feasting – that help form us and shape us into people who not only rejoice, but who are formed by the grace-filled hospitality of Jesus.
