Episode 163: December 17, 2023 - Waiting On The Blessing

Eternity Church PodCast

A Sunday sermon by Peter DuMont. It has been said that Time is an ingredient in any great dish. A skilled cook knows how to use time (and temperature) to transform, refine, and blend ingredients. God uses time in a similar way in the masterpieces he is forming in the world. This Third Sunday of Advent, we will engage with three people waiting within Advent time. Luke 1:39 finds Mary, Elizabeth, and Zechariah waiting on interrelated promises from God. As they come together, the Holy Spirit moves powerfully in their midst, bringing forward exclamation, song, and prophetic words, expressing great joy at the work of God. Interestingly, joy comes through different means for each person involved, but their journey into joyful waiting speaks to our journeys and points to the work of God that is unfolding within our own seasons of waiting. May the Spirit move in us this week, and meet us powerfully in our worship on Sunday, as we move toward Christmas.
