Psalm 42: 5 - 6

We begin our Advent sermon series with the theme of “hope.” During this season, many of us hope for many things— a new Christmas sweater, a new iPad, new experiences, new relationships, etc., but these worldly hopes are not based on assurance.

Scriptural hope, on the other hand, is all about assurance because it is founded upon faith in Jesus the Messiah. While God’s hope looks forward to victorious life on earth, most importantly, Advent reminds us of the best promised hope— the return of Jesus in all His glory.
