First Sunday of Advent - Hope
Our Savior’s birth delivered hope into the world. No matter the hardship we face, God’s hope-filled arrival means we can have hope right here, right now. The gift of hope was not just for the past—it’s for our present and our future too. We can hold a hopeful expectation for the dreams in our hearts, the deep prayers, and the desires we hold dear.
The First Candle, called the Prophecy Candle, represents hope and the anticipation of Christ’s coming, recalling the prophecies about the Messiah and the hope He brings to the world.
“But as for me, I watch in hope for the Lord;
I wait for God my Savior.
My God will hear me.”—Micah 7:7
