The Book of Revelation

JR. Forasteros - December 14, 2014

Information vs. Transformation

Thrill of Hope

Last week, Peter told us to “live holy and godly lives” as we wait for the End. But what does that look like? Christians often turn to spiritual practices like reading scripture or prayer, but just as often, those practices leave us feeling empty. If we learn to approach these practices for transformation rather than information, we will unlock the key to spiritual life: we must wait for God to make us holy. And we can trust that God will, because God is faithful to come to us, as the first Christmas proves.

From Series: "Thrill of Hope"

It seems like everyone's in a competition to "Do Christmas Well" these days. From party after party to non-stop shopping for all those perfect gifts to endless feasts, we don't feel like we can stop. But Advent teaches us that to do Christmas well, we have to learn to wait. And waiting is not something we are very good at. Learning to wait well is the key to doing Christmas well. And it's very good news! In this series, we'll learn that waiting brings back the thrill of hope!
