The Advent of Hope

As we begin our Advent journey, we’re reminded that the story of Christmas is ultimately a story of hope.

In the first message of our Advent series, “The Advent of Hope,” Pastor Thomas Cornette invites us to reflect on the God who comes close, keeps His promises, and fills our waiting with purpose.

Drawing from Scripture and the richness of the Advent season, this sermon helps us rediscover where true hope is found—not in the changing circumstances around us, but in the unchanging character of God.

Sermon Points:

Draw Near to God – Hope grows when we rest in His presence.

We Have Hope by Holding On to Past Faithfulness – Remembering His works strengthens our trust today.

We Have Hope Through Being Reminded of Present Acceptance – In Christ, we are fully loved and welcomed now.

We Have Hope in the Promise of Future Glory – Our confidence points forward to what God has guaranteed.
