Advent means “arrival,” referring to the arrival of Christ into the world more than 2,000 years ago. As we near Christmas, we’re reflecting on how certain people in the Bible responded to the birth of the Messiah, with passages taken from Will Graham’s book, In the Presence of the King. This is week 2.
The people we see in the Christmas story experienced things that were never seen before and have not been seen since. In this time of Advent, we’ll look at some of these Bible characters, studying their responses to the birth of the Messiah and how to apply lessons from each to our lives today.

Your gift today reaches Canada and the world with the Good News of Jesus Christ!
Over two days, Nov. 8-9, more than 9,000 people came to hear the Good News of Jesus Christ in Grande Prairie, Alberta.
Will Graham talked about one of the most recognizable symbols in the world—the cross—during the two-day Grande Prairie Look Up Celebration in Canada. On the cross, he said, “Jesus accomplished the greatest act of love the world had ever seen. He died for your sin and my sin.”
Over 4,000 people filled Bonnetts Energy Centre in downtown Grande Prairie for the first night of the Look Up Celebration with Will Graham.
Anticipation is building for the Grande Prairie Look Up Celebration with Will Graham that starts tonight at 7:00 p.m. MT.
Billy Graham, born Nov. 7, 1918, would have been 106 this year. He passed away in 2018 at age 99 after a lifetime of ministry. At 27, Billy Graham resigned from his pulpit at First Baptist Church in Western Springs, Illinois, to go on the road for Youth for Christ—an organization founded to minister to youth and servicemen during World War II.
Will you join us in prayer leading up to the Celebration?
