In the ongoing Christmas narrative (yes, the Christmas season continues!) -- we see four characters who are "waiting." In Luke 2:22-39: Mary, Joseph, Simeon, and Anna are all waiting for something...from a significant Jewish ritual to the "consolation of Israel."

So...what are you waiting for? What are your overarching hopes in your life? What are they hinging on?

In this sermon, Pastor Kevin explores the "waiting" that we experience. What's it for? What does it say about us? What or who do our hopes hinge on?

Listen and reflect on this continued Christmas story as you consider what you are waiting for...

This final sermon of our Advent series "Foretold," looks at the birth of John the Baptist, and Zechariah's exclamation of praise for the deliverance that God is bringing through Jesus in Luke 1:57-80.

Yet, prior to that, John must come to prepare the way for the Lord. Are you prepared to meet Jesus?

He's coming for you. To deliver you out of darkness and the shadow of death and guide your feet in the way of peace.

In this week's sermon, our focus is on the visitation of Mary to Elizabeth. This is an incredible interactions. The young, unmarried girl who has miraculously conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit. And the old, barren woman who has miraculously conceived with her husband by the power of the Holy Spirit.

These two are relatives, and Mary goes from Nazareth on a 4 day journey to the hill country outside of Jerusalem. Upon Mary's arrival, the baby inside Elizabeth leaps for joy!

This third week of Advent is the week for joy is so it is fitting to follow John's reaction as we engage with Jesus.
