Welcome to the 1st sermon in our series on the covenants of God. (1 of 4)
The liturgical calendar is a framework that the church uses to retell the story of the gospel each year. We are now in the season of Advent which is the first season of the liturgical calendar. A season meant to retell the story of the Old Testament; how the people longed and waited for the Messiah, for God to fulfill His promise. It is a story of lament, of longing, of waiting in anticipation for God to come and rescue His people. For many people, this season is hectic and crazy and exciting and fun and nostalgic. For some people, this season is very lonely, hard, and depressing, bringing reminders of pain. But as followers of Jesus, we can enter into both worlds without having to deny the other. We don’t have to deny the reality of pain. Yet as we enter into the season of Advent, we remember that though we walk in darkness, a light has come. There is hope. God fulfills His covenants.
