Numbing
In this sermon, Pastor Mike discusses the theme of hope during the Advent season, focusing on our human responses to bad news, such as fear, hiding, and numbing ourselves. He emphasizes that the pain we experience is a natural part of life and that while it's tempting to seek quick relief, numbing prevents us from experiencing the transformative work of the Holy Spirit. Pastor Mike likens our collective groaning to the pains of childbirth, underscoring that those struggles are not pointless but ultimately lead to deeper intimacy with God and future redemption. He encourages both believers and non-believers to confront their pain and allow the Holy Spirit to work within them for genuine healing and growth.
