The Advent of Hope

Pastor Chad opened Advent with an inspiring sermon centered on the theme of hope. He reminded us that biblical hope is not mere wishful thinking but a confident expectation rooted in God’s promises. Drawing from Jeremiah 29 and Isaiah 25, he showed how God’s faithfulness in the past assures us of his plans for our future. Pastor Chad emphasized that hope shapes the way we wait, transforming uncertainty into anticipation. He encouraged us to anchor our lives in the hope of Christ, looking back to his work on the cross and forward to the fulfillment of God’s ultimate plan.
