Now on demand, Songs of Worship Advent 1. This week’s theme is Hope.
Advent is a season of expectation—a sacred stretch of time when we lean toward the light even as the world around us can feel dim or uncertain. Advent hope is not passive optimism. It is a quiet, steady confidence that God is already at work, even when we cannot yet see the full picture.
Hope reminds us that every sunrise, every unexpected kindness, every moment of peace is a whisper of what’s coming. These small glimmers break through the noise of daily life to remind us that God is moving—shaping, restoring, and preparing something beautiful in the unseen places of our hearts.
In the waiting, hope teaches us to breathe deeply and trust that the light is approaching. The promise of Advent is not just that Jesus came long ago, but that Emmanuel—God with us—is here now, and that what God has begun, He will surely complete. The hope we cling to is not fragile; it is anchored in the One who holds us.
A Soundtrack of Hope for Your Season
To help you enter into this spirit of hope, I’ve curated a special Advent-themed worship set—filled with traditional hymns, contemporary worship from the ’80s through early 2000s, and songs that remind us of God’s faithfulness in the waiting.
