MARANATHA (Isaiah 31, 36, 37) - “The Time Between” December 4, 2016

As we anticipate the celebration of the arrival of the Lord at the birth of Jesus, we are reminded that we live in the period between His first coming and His second coming. During this period, we can sometimes feel as if God is very far away. This can tempt us to trust in things that would lead us away from God. King Hezekiah experienced the temptation to abandon the promises of God that had come through the prophet Isaiah and take things into his own hands. Sunday, we saw how Hezekiah handled this temptation, and we talked about what we can learn about times when waiting on God tempts us to try to go around Him.
