New Life Downtown

In this first Sunday of Advent, Pastor Glenn Packiam explores the message of Mary's song, known as the Magnificat. Mary sings about a great reversal, one that reveals God's might, mercy, and remembrance of us. This song reminds us that Advent is a season of expectation and preparation because it highlights the coming of God and the judgment and justice He will bring. In the end, the Magnificat is an invitation to worship and to join Jesus in His work.

In a special conversation between Pastor Glenn Packiam and scientist and theologian Reverend Professor David Wilkinson, we learn about the relationship between science and faith, how miracles don't contradict the laws of nature, and more. We see God as the architect and the artist of the cosmos, creating both order and extravagance. We also are reminded that our hope as Christians is for resurrection and new creation.

We want to believe that we have the power to achieve what we aspire to, but when we find ourselves stuck, we are forced to admit that we are powerless to change our situation or to save ourselves. Preaching from the story of the paralyzed man laying by the pool of Bethesda, Pastor Glenn Packiam shows us how the words Jesus spoke to the man imparted resurrection life and empowered Him to end an old way of living and begin a new one.
