Sermon Series: Advent
As we near Christmas, we occupy now a season of prayer and repentance in hopeful anticipation of the return of Jesus. Just as the Old Testament saints waited in darkness for the coming of the Messiah and God’s promised redemption (Isaiah 9:2; Matthew 4:16), we now await His second coming, His glorious entry into the world again, His adventus, or advent. Thus, in this season while we remember the first coming of Jesus, we celebrate and look forward to His second coming.

THE HOPE OF ISRAEL
Acts 28:11-31 - "It's the hope that kills you." As any sports fan knows, getting excited and optimistic about a team can be scary as you feel like you're just setting yourself up for disappointment. But biblical hope isn't like that of sport or any other walk of life. Biblical hope is rooted in God's promises and the end of the book of Acts guarantees us God is going to accomplish what He said He was going to do.
