EPISODE 4: FAITH AWAKENS
Gabriel is sent to a small town in Galilee. Mary is a young girl that God has chosen to carry a child who will be Savior, Messiah, & Lord. Elizabeth is a woman already blessed with a miracle and recognizes such in her young cousin. In these women, the world prepares to turn.
We continue to wait for Jesus – both as baby and Christ triumphant. We, too, are invited to awaken our faith, to not only see the reversals but to be a part of the reversals – could the world be about to turn?
This final week in Advent turns us towards God’s love for God’s people – a light for us right now as we wait, a light that shines love, joy, peace, & hope. Yes – the world is about to turn.
Wherever you are and however you find yourself on your faith journey this morning, know that you are most welcome here.
We invite you to worship with us on Sunday December 20 at 8 & 10:15 AM. Faith Formation begins at 9:15 AM and they will study about a peaceable kingdom.
Blessings to you and all this Advent Season. Pastor Tina
