One of the original meanings of the word “glory” in the Bible is “weight” or “weighty”. Does this mean that the choir of angels singing “Glory to God in the highest” in the Bethlehem sky during Christmas was really a carol describing baby Jesus’ weight? Likely not, but they were singing about the weight of glory coming to earth to meet the burden of sin that weighs us all down. And that is a reason to sing!

From Series: "Advent"

The Advent season describes the four week period leading up to the celebration of Christ’s birth at Christmas. Unlike stores that race to put up their Christmas decorations and products as fast as possible in the year, Christians deliberately seek to take our time before arriving at Christmas. It is a season of longing, not just for the celebration of Christmas, but for all the ways we long for God to enter in our lives with love, joy, peace, and hope. We invite you enter this season of anticipation with us at Brush Hill!
