Awake in the Waiting

Awake in the Waiting: Longing

December 22, 2024 • Jenna Daniels • Luke 2:22–38

Pastor Jenna brings our Advent series to a close in preparation for Christmas Eve. She walks us through the ways the evangelical understanding of longing can be counter productive to an otherwise important revealing that can happen through our longings.

Awake in the Waiting: Waiting

December 15, 2024 • Micah Witham • Acts 7:20–34

Micah processes the importance of waiting and the through line that we can see through scripture. It's in the waiting that things are exposed and produced within us.

Awake in the Waiting: Crying Out

December 8, 2024 • Micah Witham • Exodus 1:1–18, Exodus 2:23–25

Micah discusses Exodus 1:1-18 & 2:23-25 when the Israelites cried out and God heard, saw, listened, knew them. In the same way that Jesus modeled what it means to be human, we are met by God in the moments when we can acknowledge and embrace our limitations and struggles.

Awake in the Waiting: Darkness

December 1, 2024 • Micah Witham

Awaken begins a new series through our last Advent season at St James. Micah kicks the series off by discussing the significance of darkness and the ways God shows up alongside us as a midwife is present to those birthing new life into the world.
