Luke 3:7-18
The 3rd Sunday of Advent is known as Gaudete or Joy Sunday. This comes from the Latin phrase, “Gaudete in Domino semper” or “Rejoice in the Lord always” (Philippians 4:4). In this season of waiting, there is joy to be experienced in knowing that our King is coming! In the busyness of this holiday season, how do we prepare our hearts for Christmas? Better yet, how do we prepare our hearts for joy?
