Carols Preview

The Christmas season is filled with the sound of carols everywhere we go, but have we ever stopped to consider their deeper meaning? As we journey through Advent, these timeless hymns become more than just familiar melodies—they are powerful reflections on Christ’s birth, His promises, and the hope He brings. Join us as we explore the rich stories and scriptural foundations behind these cherished carols, allowing them to guide our hearts toward the true joy of Christmas.

In this Advent series, we will dive into the powerful messages behind beloved Christmas carols. Each week focuses on a classic hymn from the Methodist Hymnal, exploring how its lyrics and the scriptures it draws from help us prepare for Christ’s coming. From the hopeful anticipation of “Come, Thou Long-Expected Jesus” to the joyous proclamation of “Hark! The Herald Angels Sing,” we will journey through songs that remind us of God’s promises, Christ’s peace, and the freedom found in His love. This series aims to deepen our appreciation for these hymns, transforming them into reminders of God’s presence as we celebrate the season and grow deeper in our Love for God.

Going Beyond the Sermon

The kids will be studying Christmas Carols as well, so it's a great way to talk about what everyone's learning at home. Also, consider downloading the devotional to read at home. It'll be uploaded each day to Facebook to make it easy to find.
