November 27, 2022 ~Sermon ONLY~

~1st Sunday of Advent~ TITLE: "Hope ALWAYS Springs Eternal" SCRIPTURE: Isaiah 7:14, Matthew 1:18-25 SUMMARY: As our Advent 2022 journey begins, our focus is on the Hope candle, the first we'll light in the wreath. Were it not for hope, life would be especially challenging. We hope tomorrow is better than today, next year is better than this one, the sick get well, the lost are found...on and on. God's people had been "hoping" for a centuries that the Messiah, the Savior would come. That hope was realized in Jesus.
