Free Methodist Church Of Santa Barbara

Over the last four weeks, we have been waiting in expectation for the birth of Christ. This Sunday falls during the twelve days of the Christmas season in the church calendar, and we have the opportunity to consider not just Christ's first coming but also his return. This child, born for us, changes everything as Immanuel, God with us. In his life, Christ revealed to us the kingdom of God and invited us to participate in that kingdom. Now, we live with a foretaste of what it will be like to live in the fullness of God's kingdom, and we wait with eager anticipation for Christ's return in glory and the fulfillment of his kingdom. We look forward to exploring the hope of Christ's return together.
