"The Coming and The Call: Joy" (December 17, 2023) w/ Vern Collins

from Matthew 1:18-25 The season of Advent is an invitation to pause. An invitation to wait…with expectation for what is to come. More specifically, it is an invitation to slow down and wait and watch and listen for WHO is to come. It is Hope in despair. It is Peace in the midst of chaos. It is Joy in the face of the challenges of life. And it is Love that is redeeming and renewing this world. And at the center of all of these promises is Jesus. The One Who has come. The One Who is coming. And in His coming is a call…a call to experience the Hope, the Peace, the Joy, and the Love that He offers…it is a call Home. w/ Vern Collins
