Series Description: What do you long for in this life? Truth be told, this time of year we tend to be saturated by the schemes of marketers and preoccupied with things we don’t need. However, this longing for something can be an intense feeling that is good. So, as believers a better question is: do we long for the things of God? As we read about the prophet’s imagination of a hopeful world redeemed by God’s goodness, we can feel Isaiah’s sense of urgency for a better future full of shalom. Hope is here. Peace is here. As the first advent of Jesus came near, we can sense the joyful anticipation of Mary, who would give birth to the Savior of the world. Joy is here. And when the time came for Immanuel to be born, we experience the divine colliding with humanity changing everything for all time. Love is here. So, as we are here in this middle time waiting for Jesus to come again, we invite you to join us over the next four weeks and be reminded to slow down, breathe deep, celebrate aloud, and shine love in honor and anticipation of King Jesus.
