ADVENT 2017
THE WHISPER OF HOPE - COME DOWN!December 3, 2017 - Dr. Kevin M. Ulmet – Pastor
Imagine the greatest symbol of power and stability ripped apart and your nation left in shreds under enemy rule…The dark period of Babylonian captivity had begun…Was God abandoning His “eternal” throne of David? How could He watch in silence as His own nation – His own temple – was ripped to shreds by pagan armies? ~Richard Leslie Parrott, Bible Lessons for Advent 2017
ISAIAH 64:1-7 (NLT)Yet a faint whisper of hope was heard…a foggy reminder of some past breakthrough…a dim picture of some memorable deliverance…could it be that God was still God? Could it be that we have not been abandoned? Can it be that hope still lives? IS GOD STILL UP TO SOMETHING? DOES HE STILL LOVE AND REMEMBER US, HIS PEOPLE, ALL OVER THIS WORLD? IS THIS ADVENT, THIS CHRISTMAS A SEASON OF HOPE AFTER ALL?
ISAIAH 64:8-9 (NLT)
1 CORINTHIANS 1:3-9 (NLT)
