First Sunday of Advent Theme: God with Zechariah, the Skeptic Scripture: Luke 1:5-16, 23-25, 76-80 Focus: There are moments when circumstances in life or deferred hopes and dreams may feel like a heavy burden with no relief in sight, from smaller expectations to deeper concerns, such as job security, financial responsibility and fragile relationships. While all of us face the mystery of what tomorrow may bring, the assurance we have is that when we pray, God is with us.

Scripture: Philippians 4:1-7, 10-14, 19

Focus Statement: As we learn what it really means to have enough, we are freed to embrace and leverage what we have.

Key Points: True contentment comes not from material wealth but from dependence on Christ. Prayer and gratitude are pathways to peace and contentment. Radical generosity flows from trusting God’s provision, as seen in Paul’s teachings.
