Greetings from Pastor John!
Hi Church
We will be in Revelation 17 this week. We are getting close to Advent and celebrating Christ’s coming into the world. Revelation will show us how Christ comes into the world again, not just as Savior but as Reigning King. As we get close to the Christmas season, we have a great opportunity to reflect on the person of Jesus and what it means that He has both entered our world and will enter it again. In the middle the church gets to wait in hope and expectancy. Those are both areas that the world has little of these days. So may the hope of the church and our expectancy in Christ be an invitation to our culture to see Christ for who He is in our lives.
