This Sunday, Pastor Alicia introduced a new 4 week series called Rediscover Christmas. We are inspired by the season of Advent and God’s promise of a Messiah. Advent is a season of expectation and preparation that links the past, present, and future. It encapsulates God’s redeeming love for the world.
Simeon and Anna give us a powerful example of how to remain hopeful and faithful to God during uncertain times.
Focus Scriptures: Luke 2:22-38; Romans 8:24-26; 5:2-5
Simeon and Anna were sparks of hope after the birth of Christ. Their service and devotion to God teach us the following lessons about hope:
- Hope sees beyond our circumstances and is the fuel of faith.
- God is with us–here, now, and always.
- Hope inspires us to carry on.
Are you inspired to take a step towards hope during this season of Advent? Please share with us in the comments.
