WE HAVE A WAITING PROBLEM. We hate to wait. And we do anything we can to speed up the process. “HOW LONG IS THE WAIT???”

This Sunday we continue the topic of waiting as we focus on what is means to be Waiting - In Love. - Pastor Joseph Thomas - Sunday, December 18, 2022

WE HAVE A WAITING PROBLEM. We hate to wait. And we do anything we can to speed up the process. “HOW LONG IS THE WAIT???”

Luke 2: 21-38

On the theme of Waiting, we'll look at the lives of Simeon and Anna. Simeon was told by the Spirit and was waiting for the Messiah and affirms and recognized Jesus when he is brought to the Temple. Anna happened to be there for this great moment. - Pastor Joseph Thomas - Sunday, December 11, 2022

WE HAVE A WAITING PROBLEM. We hate to wait. And we do anything we can to speed up the process. “HOW LONG IS THE WAIT???” We ask that at the car place, the dentist office, and especially to customer service representatives. “Speed it up, please!” Call ahead seating, microwaves, and fast passes. Insta-Pots replacing Crock Pots. And Netflix replacing TV channels – because binge watching means we don’t have to wait for a next episode! We hate to wait. Can you imagine waiting for 10 years in prison? 14 years for a promised wife? Hundreds of years for deliverance from slavery? Or thousands of years for the promised Messiah? The Bible is filled with waiting. And God always used it. He spoke through it. And people grew to walk more closely with Him. Advent is all about the Waiting. This Sunday we will look at Abraham and others who had to wait for things that they didn't receive in their lifetime from Hebrews 11 and Luke 10:23-24. - Pastor Joseph Thomas - Sunday, December 4, 2022

I Chron 15: 1-12

It's interesting that David (and Joshua) tell the people to prepare ... consecrate prior to what is going to happen the next day. What is consecration? How do you prepare that? Do we practice that today?

We shall look into what does consecration look like and what it takes to do it ... and it's consequences. - Pastor Joseph Thomas - Monday, November 21, 2022
