Sermon: Thrill of Hope: Here it Comes!
Advent 1 - A Thrill of Hope (Candle of Hope) - Here it Comes!
John the Baptist appears on the scene with a bold proclamation: God’s Kingdom is on its way! And he announces that the One who comes after him will baptize with the Holy Spirit and fire. What a message! It’s a thrill of hope (and a warning)."
Isaiah 2:1-5 (CEB) and Matthew 3:1-12 (CEB)
A Thrill of Hope: There are seasons of life when hope feels hard to come by. Will it get any better? Will things ever change? The good news of Advent rushes upon us with a thrill: Yes! There is hope! Join us this season as we wait for the thrill of hope in the coming of Jesus.
