Why does the world feel so restless, even in a season built around comfort and cheer? This message explores the Bible’s claim that our frustration, grief, and longing are not personal failures but shared symptoms of a broken world still waiting for healing.

Advent names this in-between space—between hope and disappointment, promise and fulfillment—and points to a different kind of hope, one grounded in the resurrection of Jesus and the promise of renewal.

If you’ve ever wondered why success doesn’t satisfy, why suffering feels unfair, or whether there’s meaning beneath the noise of modern life, this sermon invites you to consider a hope that doesn’t deny pain but speaks directly to it, offering the possibility that the story of the world, and your own story, is moving toward restoration rather than collapse.
