Hope sets in motion the familiar themes of Advent. As we make preparation for the coming of the Christ child, as we anticipate the coming of the Christ child, as we wait for and watch for the coming of the Christ child, we put our hope in the very tangible promises of God. In this message, we look at prophecy in Isaiah 42 that speaks to how Jesus would bring hope to the world and how, as followers, we can also bring hope to the world.

The prophets told of a peace that Jesus would usher in but it did not end up looking quite like the people of God expected. Trevor unpacks this prophecy and points us to the peace of God for ourselves.

We know that we are called to fellowship with God and others but what does that even mean and how do we get there? Join David as he breaks down the difference between relationship and fellowship and why it even matters.

As we prepare for the Advent season, it is important to make time for sitting with our disappointments and despair at the promises not yet fulfilled, in our lives and in our world. There is much biblical instruction for bringing our laments to God so let's make space for this spiritual practice.

Continuing in our series on the Presence of God, Trevor unpacks the biblical concept of unity in a world where division seems to be the rule. Going deeper in our relationships is key.

In part 2 of this series, we talk about how the presence of God in believers is always at work, shaping our minds, our hearts, our thoughts towards the likeness of Christ. We begin to desire the things that bring life rather than death. We begin to transform into a different person, a person more in the image of Christ.
