In the Waiting Week 1
Sharable notes for the December 3, 2017 message. You can post these notes on your social platform!
- The problem with waiting is that we don't give ourselves anything meaningful to do in the waiting.
- Jesus gave us a calling for the time between His first coming and His second. We have a mission during the waiting. A great commission.
- “Waiting is our destiny as creatures who cannot bring about what they hope for; we wait in darkness for a flame we cannot light. We wait in fear for a happy ending that we cannot write. We wait for “not yet” that feels like “not ever.” Waiting is the hardest work of HOPE.” Lewis Smedes
- We're willing to wait for what we deem worth the wait.
- God's will is worth waiting for.
- When you find yourself in the waiting, don't be afraid. Trust God.
- Sometimes we have to change OUR plans to line up with GOD'S plans.
- Christmas is a reminder of the hope of Jesus. "The thrill of hope the weary world rejoices for yonder breaks a new and glorious morn.”
