Advent One: Hope (Hope Won't Stop, Can't Stop)

Advent One: Hope (Hope Won't Stop, Can't Stop)

Dec 02, 2018

Passage: Romans 13:11-12

Preacher: Luis Vega

Series: Advent 2018

Summary:

Gospel readings for Advent I call the people of God to watchful vigilance for Christ’s second Advent and set the tone for the entire season. Matthew 24:36 and Mark 13:24 look forward to Christ’s coming in glory at a time that no one knows. Christians are to “stay awake” (Matthew 24:42) and “be on guard” (Mark 13:33). Matthew says that just as the flood in the days of Noah came unexpectedly and wiped away those who were unprepared, the return of Christ will be sudden, and those who are not ready for it will be left.

Detail:

No matter where you are right now. In the darkness of despair, in the dawn or the dusk of seeing the light or in the full luminescence of your hope fulfilled, there is a greater hope, a future hope, an eternal hope that must keep us moving forward in our faith and rooted in the love of God shown to us in the person of Jesus Christ. He is the reason for the season and our hope in every season, in AND out of season. Let’s pray together.

Hope that looks forward is founded in hope that looks backwards
