490. Advent: The Need

Published: Dec. 5, 2023, 10 a.m.

With Advent season upon us, today\u2019s episode is going to feature an advent sermon of Paul\u2019s from the archives. In it, Paul teaches from Genesis 6 and shows that the heart of the Lord is grieved at the wickedness of humanity.

In holy justice, God sends a great flood to destroy the earth. He also shows undeserved grace to Noah and his family, saving the generation of Abraham for the coming of Christ.

Every time the Christmas season comes around, we look forward to putting up a tree, giving and receiving gifts, and participating in other traditions that make this wonderful time of year so special. But sometimes the most significant aspect of the season \u2014 remembering and focusing on the coming of Jesus \u2014 grows old and familiar.

In Come Let Us Adore Him: A Daily Advent Devotional, Paul Tripp seeks to recapture our attention and reawaken our awe during Christmastime. Each day is structured with a compelling, gospel-centered thought followed by an extended meditation for the day.

Each of the thirty-one devotions also includes a Scripture reading and notes for parents and children, equipping us to do the one thing that matters most each December \u2014 celebrate Jesus. Get your copy today at PaulTripp.com/Advent.
