HEAVEN BREAKS THROUGH: AN ADVENT STUDY

Advent is the season when the church leans forward in expectation—looking back to Christ’s birth in Bethlehem and ahead to his promised return. It’s a time of holy tension, where longing meets fulfillment and darkness gives way to light. Heaven Breaks Through, a four-week Sunday morning small group study, invites you to enter that tension with wonder, tracing how God’s presence continues to pierce human struggle with divine hope, peace, joy, and love. Find Sunday morning small groups HERE.
