In this Advent message, Pastor Beth reflects on what it means to wait with hope when the world feels weary and the promises of God seem slow in coming. Looking at Mary and Joseph’s story, she reminds us that hope is rooted not in certainty, but in remembering God’s faithfulness and trusting that nothing is impossible with God. Hope is not naive; hope is stubborn. As we light the first candle, we are invited to become people of hope who carry light into dark places and trust that God is still at work, even now.
