I’m sure all of you know that our God works all things: including snowstorms—FOR OUR GOOD (Rom 8:28).

But some of you may be thinking—nice try Pastor—but what good, God-glorifying purposes, might God have for sending us all this cold & snow & ice?

For many people no question seems as puzzling as the problem of unanswered prayer.

The Planning of Proverbs. Paul, God & Jesus

Q: Why does Christmas joy turn so quickly into new-year anxiety?

A: Maybe it’s because what felt like joy at Christmas wasn’t really anchored deeply in Jesus.

The shepherds were changed by what they saw & we can also profit from what they went through. Work faithfully; Wonder fearfully; Welcome favorably; Witness frequently; and then Worship fondly!

I don’t know about you—but some seasons of the church year—like Advent—are shocking because it shouts out: “the kingdom of God is at hand!” And suddenly, we realize that we’d stopped looking for or praying for this kingdom to come!

On This 1st Sunday Of Advent, Turn Our Hearts & Minds Toward Your Son, Jesus Christ. Fill Us With HOPE As We Remember His Coming & Await His Return.

Psalm 40:1-3 ... Being IN a pit is one thing ... Getting OUT is another!
