Christmas and Advent is a time of excruciating waiting. Children (of all ages) wait impatiently for the dawn when they can tear into gifts and play. Hosts and hostesses wait for the guests to leave so that they can stop smiling. Business owners wait for the tallies to come in so they can see if they've made enough to survive another year. But most of all, Christians wait for Jesus to return and establish His Kingdom on Earth.
The question is, how do we wait? Not knowing the day nor the hour of our Lord's Return, feeling daily the pressures of a world that doesn't care about or believe in His Coming, beset by pressures in the here-and-now; what should the followers of Jesus Christ be doing that will sustain us in hope, comfort us in life, and add to our glory in the End? These are the questions Pastor Anderson T. Graves II explores in this 2nd in the Advent Sermon series.
Listen and hear the answer from the Word of God.
