As Advent begins, we open the Gospel of Luke with the story of Zechariah—a faithful man caught in a long season of silence. But in that silence, God was not absent. He was preparing something beautiful. This week’s message, “Hope in the Silence,” reminds us that waiting is not wasted, and that God often does His deepest work in the quiet. For the believer, it’s a call to trust again, to listen again, and to prepare room for Jesus. For the seeker, it’s an invitation to consider that the ache in your soul is actually a longing for the One who came to bring peace, joy, and hope. So come ready to reflect, respond, and begin this Advent season with your eyes fixed on Jesus—the One who came, and the One who will come again.
