Longing For Deliverance
Longing For Deliverance
Advent - the weeks leading up to Christmas - is all about slowing down, pushing back on the frantic nature of the season, and freeing ourselves from its consumerism and consumption. On Sundays and in community we'll create space to explore the deeper longings of our hearts, which for many are stirred at Christmas. To help us, we'll look at 3 Messianic Psalms, ancient songs of God's people longing for the world to be made right. Each Psalm will help us see that the incarnation - Jesus' arrival in flesh and blood - is not a sentimental story but the climactic answer to ancient expectations and modern longings.

Where do you feel stuck? What kind of deliverance are you longing for?
What do you believe about God's character? Is it different than the God of the Bible?
What would change if you believe God delights to free us?
