Advent: Longing for More
Sermons from Advent 2020
The Famine of God's Love (Week 4)
December 20, 2020 • Tom Hendrikse
God is the only source of perfect, unconditional love for us, and down through the ages, he has used shepherds as the agents to announce his love for his people. On the first Christmas, 2000+ years ago, it was those shepherds who first heard about Jesus.
The Famine of God's Spirit (Week 3)
December 13, 2020 • Sam Kastensmidt
In the Old Testament, God's Spirit was said to come upon people, and you knew the result would be dramatic. The effect of God's Spirit on Mary and Elizabeth certainly was as well. We should all long for the same thing to happen with us.
The Famine of God's King (Week 2)
December 6, 2020 • Tom Hendrikse
God interrupted Mary's plans on that first Christmas. Her response was to submit without question or complaint. When God interrupts our plans, how do we respond? Do we submit, like Mary, or do we carry on with our own goals and ideas?

November 29, 2020 • Tom Hendrikse
