In the first message of the Christmas series, The Face of God, Founding Pastor Dr. Brett Yohn reminds us of the value of waiting by looking at Deuteronomy 8:25 and how God led the Israelites out of  Egypt and how they wandered the wilderness for forty years in order to create anticipation, build character and  how it revealed self-centeredness. Waiting has great benefits for our spiritual and personal maturity; it is an uncomfortable gift. New Covenant Community Church, 6000 S. 84th St., Lincoln, NE, 68516. (audio message)
