Not What I Ordered
from Hope Missionary Church · host Pastor Mark Wilson
Here's the thing about wishlists. They're full of what we want. What we think will make us happy. At least for a while.But God's gift that first Christmas? It wasn't on anyone's wishlist. Nobody asked for a baby in a barn. Nobody wanted a Messiah wrapped in rags. Yet two thousand years later, we're still unwrapping this gift. Still discovering that what we needed has become what we want most.This Advent, we're slowing down together. We're looking at the unexpected ways God shows up. And how His gifts are always better than our wishes. Join us this week as we kick off our Advent series for 2025: Wishlist.
