Advent is a season of preparation… and proclamation! How can we be a people who stands up for God’s peace, justice and love in our world? In this series, we’ll draw from Kathy Khang’s book, the Old Testament prophets and Mary’s journey to Bethlehem.
It’s time to speak up!

YHWH Yireh - Provider
Religious systems can often become ways for us to try to earn God's favor. Abraham's encounter with Yahweh, when he is asked to sacrifice Isaac. In this encounter, Abraham learns that Yahweh is fundamentally different from other gods, that Yahweh doesn't need us. When we understand that Yahweh is Yireh - the Provider, then we are free to serve God to know him better, to find the joy of obedience that leads to a deeper knowledge of and love for God.
