What We Are Looking For Is Precious


Listen Later

What if the whole of Advent could be summed up in one question: what are you seeking, and how precious is it to you? In Luke 2, we meet a chorus of seekers—shepherds, Simeon, Anna, the temple teachers, and even Mary and Joseph—each revealing a different way hearts move toward Jesus. 

We start with the shepherds, overlooked but chosen, who drop the lesser assignment to run toward the greater one. Joy meets them in a manger, reminding us that impact is measured by proximity to Christ, not platform. Then Simeon teaches us to see the end in the beginning, to bless a promise while it still looks like a baby. Anna shows how devotion rewires attention; when you make room for what’s sacred, you recognize God in places others miss. The temple teachers demonstrate that honest questions can be a doorway to faith, and that knowledge must bow to encounter.

Finally, Mary and Joseph offer a wake-up call: you can assume Jesus is with you and still walk on without Him. When routine replaces presence, even good work grows heavy. We talk about faithfulness in your field, recovering wonder in ordinary rhythms, and building practices that keep Jesus at the center of your calendar, your home, and your ministry. By the end, you’ll have a clear lens for this Advent: hurry with clarity, wait with hope, seek with devotion, ask with courage, and turn back quickly when you realize you’ve moved on without Him.

My hope is that this podcast helps grow your faith and equips you to accomplish your dreams and goals!
