On December 7, Pastor Jeff McLain kicked off our Advent series, "God Has Come (Hope Has Returned)," exploring the true, lasting hope of the Christmas season.
In a world longing for light, we often chase temporary fixes—like the beautiful, fleeting glow of holiday lights. But the Advent story invites us into a deeper reality: God breaking into human history to bring a permanent light that transforms us.
Sermon Summary: This message, based on Luke 2:1-12, centers on the extraordinary moment God chose the ordinary and the overlooked. We follow the stories of Elizabeth, Mary, Joseph, and especially the shepherds—the unseen people God chose first—to discover what it means to be attentive to God's presence.
We'll unpack the core truth of Advent: God has come to the desperate, the sick, and the unseen. Learn why the shepherds' humble encounter with the glory of the Lord is a sign that God is still breaking into your story today. This message reminds us that the Messiah's arrival fulfills ancient promises, bringing a light and hope that cannot be extinguished.
Practical Application: How do we live with open eyes and open hearts? Pastor Jeff shares three practical responses to walk in this transformative light: Practice Watchfulness, Cultivate Reverence, and Share Joy.
Passage: Luke 2:1-12 (NIV)
