Christmas is Hope: Glory to God - Luke 2
Speaker: Ken Boonstra
“Our only hope is Jesus Christ. After we refused to live in the image of God, he was born of the virgin Mary… Jesus Christ is the hope of God’s world!”
Advent is Hope: In God’s Order - Isaiah 9:2, 6&7
Speaker: Alex Warneke
God’s order is different than ours - it starts with a gift; a baby, a child, a son and ends with peace. We all live in a certain amount of darkness but God’s order dawns light into the darkness.
Advent is Hope: In A New Order - Isaiah 61
Speaker: Ken Boonstra
God’s anointed servant will bring a new order, reversing all expectations. God’s joy will come, beyond all imagination.
Advent is Hope: In Waiting - Isaiah 40:1-11
Speaker: Ken Boonstra
The second Sunday of Advent reminds us that we are people who wait. In the midst of the wilderness, we wait for God to come. But our waiting isn’t in inactivity; we “prepare the way for the Lord”.
Advent is Hope: In Longing - Isaiah 64:1-9
Speaker: Ken Boonstra
The first Sunday of Advent reminds us of the longing we have for God to intervene in our lives. We long for God to act. We long for God to make himself clearly known.
