Bible Text: 1 Samuel 24:1–22 | Preacher: Johnathan Keenan | Series: The Stories We Live By
It’s hard to wait. It’s especially hard to wait when things are out of your control and you don’t know when the waiting will be over. Waiting tends to bring out our anger and even hatred for those things that make us wait. How can we take seriously the pain of waiting without losing our patience?
Bible Text: James 5:7–11 | Preacher: Joshua Burdette | Series: Advent: Living with Expectation
We don’t like to wait. For anything. If you have an appetite for something, chances are there’s an app that promises to deliver it to your doorstep within 48 hours. In an age of instant gratification, patience can seem like a relic of the past—almost quaint. Yet this year has forced all of us to wait for the end of the COVID crisis. How can we wait for patience, especially when we’re out of control? This Sunday we celebrate Advent and learn to cultivate the virtue of patience.
