A Thrill of Hope: Hope Shines

Sermon By Youth Pastor Nathan Walter
As we come to a close in our Advent season, we have identified that hope was foretold, hope arrived, hope was opposed and now we will discover how the hope of the promised Messiah will infinitely shine. Throughout our tumultuous journey, the hope we have in Christ will overcome life's obstacles. We just need to understand what are hopes are truly in. Are our hopes in what God has done, what God will do, or are our hopes in God himself and in who He is? As we take one last look at the story of the birth of Jesus the Christ, we may find that these are all one in the same. Our hopes are in the plans of the Lord, known and unknown to us. Once we truly understand where our hopes lie, it will be easier for hope to truly shine in us and through us.
