Sunday Recap – December 9

Sunday morning was the second Sunday in our sermon series Looking Back, Longing Forward. Our kids K-5th grade led us in worship, and several students made Profession of Faith.

During the message, Pastor Brian Keepers invited us to find our place alongside Mary as she received the surprising news that she would carry the Savior of the world in her womb.  Mary found herself living between God’s spoken promise and the fulfillment of that promise.  This is true for us as well.  Even when things seem dark or don’t make sense, God assures us that “nothing is impossible with God.”  And so we’re called to surrender to our faithful Father with outstretched arms.
