Advent Through Isaiah's Eyes

The Advent season is a time of year when the church has historically focused on the coming of Jesus Christ in flesh as a child. Certainly this merits our attention, joy, and praise but as a Church we often fail to look at what Christ ultimately secured for His people in that coming. Our current state, here and now, is not the fullness of His work. Advent means coming or arrival and it is a time to not only celebrate His 1st coming but to anticipate and celebrate His coming again. This advent we will look at the expectation that Isaiah had as God revealed what Christ’s coming would mean for the world. Our prayer is that we all live in great anticipation of His arrival as we explore Advent Through Isaiah’s Eyes.

Malachi | Wait Faithfully

The people of Malachi’s day had been restored to their homeland after being deported by their enemies. The temple, which had been destroyed, was rebuilt. Still, there was a significant discrepancy between what they believed God would do and the harsh reality of life in which they found themselves. As a result, the people became apathetic in response to God and failed to live obediently. God sent his messenger Malachi to call them to faithful living as they awaited the fulfillment of all of God’s promises. We, too, can find ourselves, disillusioned and disappointed by the state of things in our lives and world. Our prayer is that God will use His Word from Malachi to call you to wait faithfully for the God who always fulfills His promises.
