Pastor Abbie Sawczak invites us into the heart of Advent—not as passive waiting, but as active participation in preparing the way for Jesus. Drawing from Isaiah 40 and the story of John the Baptist, she explores how repentance, humility, and daily formation clear space for Christ to move in us and through us.
This message calls us to lift what’s low, lay down our pride, smooth the rough places in our relationships, and practice a life that helps others see Jesus clearly. With warmth and challenge, Pastor Abbie reminds us that God comes with comfort, strength, and renewal—and that we get to partner with Him in making room for His arrival.
