Unite Your Church with an Advent Sermon Series

Advent is a season of hope, waiting, and preparation. The Ministry Leadership Center has created an Advent Sermon Series to bring your entire congregation into the story of God’s faithfulness.

Our 2025 Advent Sermon Series, A Wandering Journey, is a four-week journey designed for pastors, youth, and children. Together, your church can reflect on God’s promises through sermons, adult and youth small group discussions, and kid-friendly worship moments that all share the same weekly themes.

Why a Whole Church Advent Sermon Series?

When every generation walks through Advent together, worship extends beyond Sunday mornings. Families carry conversations home, students connect lessons to their faith, and children discover the joy of Advent in age-appropriate ways.

Adult Small Groups

Small group guides to engage adults in your congregation.
