As we launch our new Christmas series “Holy Night,” we begin by stepping into the quiet, aching tension of waiting. This message looks at how God broke centuries of silence by speaking to two ordinary people—Mary and Joseph—and how their trust in His promises carried them through impossible circumstances. Their story invites us to examine our own seasons of waiting and to anchor ourselves in God’s proven faithfulness. As Advent begins, we remember not only Christ’s first coming, but we learn to hope forward—living with expectation, courage, and a faith shaped by God’s track record in Scripture, history, and our own lives.
