Love: God's Saving Presence

Advent is about waiting for God's love to break into our world, just as generations before Christ's birth waited for the promised Messiah. The prophets spoke hope into darkness, promising a child who would be called Wonderful Counselor and Prince of Peace. Elizabeth waited her whole life for a child and experienced overwhelming joy when God fulfilled His promise. Mary, despite her youth and uncertainty, said yes to carrying God's son, trusting that love was on the way. Joseph chose trust over fear, protecting Mary and standing by God's plan. The shepherds, ordinary people doing their jobs, became the first to hear the good news and couldn't contain their joy. Today, we continue this waiting, looking for God to move in our lives while sharing the hope we've found with others.Support the showVisit communitybrookside.com or facebook.com/communitybrookside for more information!
