Longing for a King
Longing for a King
As we step into Advent - the weeks leading up to Christmas - we desire to slow down, push back on the frantic nature of the season, and free 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.
