Long Expected
Sermon Series

Hope can be a powerful thing. It produces passion for the impossible. It realizes what has yet to be actualized. It binds to the future those who are captive to the present.

But hope can be a dangerous thing. Placed in the wrong object, it can lead to the deepest of disappointment and regret—exacerbating the sting of unfulfilled desires, relegating the longings of the heart to the category of fancy.

In Advent, we remember what it means to hope rightly and find stability in the drama of long expectation. But we do so from the nearside of history’s perspective, looking ahead while looking back—back to the One who fulfills; back to the One who satisfies; back to the One who completes.

He came in just the right way, at just the right time. For those who expect, he exceeds all expectation. Hope of the earth. Desire of nations. Joy of the heart.

Come, thou long-expected!

Promises
Sermon Series

In the beginning, everything was very good. Nothing was broken. Evil did not exist. All was right in the world.

But something terrible happened. Trust was broken; relationships shattered; the future now bleak and uncertain. In short, paradise was lost.

But not hope.

Promises is a series of messages about hope in the Faithful One’s determination to make right what went wrong. He is the Covenant Keeper, whose word is His bond, whose promises made are promises kept. Forever.
