The Subversive Hope

Delivered on 12/01/2018

Part 1 of the series The Promise Fulfilled

During the Advent season, we wait for the coming of Jesus Christ. But the truth is, he already came once a long time ago... What are we waiting for now?

This message by Dr. Ed Stetzer will remind your members of the hope that the birth of Christ brought into their lives and help them anticipate the second coming of Jesus with renewed hope. God already kept his promises once with the birth of Christ, and he will continue to keep them. One day he will come again to repair the brokenness in our world, and while we wait, we must learn to live holy lives despite our broken nature so we may spend eternity with him.
