In this Preacher to Preacher message for the First Sunday of Advent, Luther Seminary professor Matt Skinner reflects on Matthew 24 and what it means to prepare for Jesus—not as a threat, but as welcoming a guest into our lives. Speaking from the shores of Lake Genolisca in North Carolina, Skinner reminds us that Jesus continues to show up in our everyday lives: in our neighbors, in those on the margins, and in people in need. This Advent season isn’t just about waiting for a distant return—it’s about recognizing Christ’s presence right here, right now.
How are you preparing to meet Jesus in your daily life this Advent?
