ADVENT: The Certainty of Advent

How can we move past holiday indifference and cultivate deep, unshakeable certainty in the promises of God this Advent season?In this sermon on Luke 1:26–38 (and Luke 1:1–4), Lead Pastor Neil McClendon explores the certainty of Advent through the angel Gabriel’s announcement to Mary. Pastor Neil breaks down four truths every believer can anchor their life upon: the abiding presence of God, the active nature of God’s favor, the foundational reality of the virgin birth, and the truth that nothing is impossible with God. Discover how Mary’s response, "let it be to me according to your word", invites us to trust God's supernatural power in the middle of our everyday lives.In this episode, we cover:Writing for Certainty: Examining Luke’s purpose in providing an orderly, eyewitness account of Jesus's life.The Presence of God: Resting in the promise that God is with us in every season, regardless of our performance.Understanding True Favor: Reclaiming God's favor as the grace that strengthens us to live out Christian virtues.The Necessity of the Virgin Birth: Seeing why Christ’s miraculous conception is essential to His sinless nature and the authority of Scripture.Surrendering to the Impossible: Embracing a faith that subjects the natural world to the supernatural power of God.Be sure to follow us:InstagramFacebookYoutube
