Patience in Planning | Pastor Courtney Hall

SCRIPTURE TEXT: Luke 1:5-79   The Christmas season of December is also the Advent season of preparation, a time in which most of us find ourselves dealing with much PLANNING: of family & work gatherings, shopping & gift buying, festivities & meals, and so on. With our schedules so heavy-laden, we can find the joys of Christmastime overshadowed by stress as we struggle to maintain a spiritual sense of the season. In this message for the second week of Advent, we’ll consider the patient hope demonstrated by Zechariah & Elisabeth, parents of John the Baptist, as an antidote to overly-stressed seasonal fatigue & a tonic of spiritual centering in God’s word that can remind us of the reason for the season & the higher call of planning for the purposes of the Lord.   *For those online: prepare your supplies to join us in Communion.   Preacher: Pastor Courtney Hall   Series: ADVENT - A Season of Waiting (Pt. 2)  Date: 12/04/2022   |    Time: 10:30 am Sermon Notes
