Living in Hope of the Returning King (Advent 2025, Part 1)

Fog surrounds us - political fog, cultural fog, personal fog - and many are losing their way. But Christian hope is like a lighthouse that guides us into safe harbor.This week begins the Advent season. Advent means waiting. People in history had to await Jesus’ first coming. We now await His return. We will explore Jesus’ parable in Luke 19, a story about a nobleman-soon-to-be-king, fearful servants, bold servants, and the question that still confronts us today:Will we risk living fully for the King we cannot yet see?Join us in worship as we discover how a Christian hope transforms not only our lives, but the world!If you are looking for a church in Saint Petersburg that is rooted in Scripture, focused on Jesus, serious about the kingdom of God, and committed to authentic community, we would love to welcome you.
