In this collection of Advent messages, Pastor Russ Reaves guides readers to encounter the good news of Jesus Christ through the announcements made by angels surrounding the events of His coming into the world. In "O Little Town of Bethlehem," we sing the words: "We hear the Christmas angels, the great glad tidings tell." These "Christmas angels" bring their great glad tidings to herald the birth of the Savior. Zacharias received glad tidings of God's faithfulness. Mary received glad tidings of grace and glory. Joseph received glad tidings of Christ's mission. Shepherds received glad tidings of the Christmas Gospel. As you read these Advent messages, the good news of the Savior's birth will prepare you to worship and serve Him throughout the season.
