Advent - Hope In The Waiting By Julia Berger

Isaiah 7:14

Biblical Hope is not just wishful thinking but a confident expectation rooted in God’s Faithfulness.

Advent season prepares people for Jesus Christ’s birth at Christmas, while also pointing ahead to his promised return.

His word brings hope Romans 15:4

Other believers can remind us of the hope we have Hebrews 1:1-2 Acts 2:17-18 Joel 2:28-29

Creation declares his glory and brings hope Psalm 19:1
