The Father's Joy (Advent 2025, Part 4)

Advent does not rush us past the dark.It teaches us how to wait.This Sunday we will open Romans 15:7–13 and reflect on The Father’s Joy as Paul points us to a joy that rises from God’s faithfulness and fills His people with hope.Paul reminds us that God keeps His promises, welcomes us in Christ, and forms a people whose life together becomes a witness to the world. Even as we wait, God is at work shaping us through hope, peace, and joy by the power of the Holy Spirit.If you are carrying questions, weariness, or longing this Advent season, this message is for you.
