Presentation transcript:

Advent – Waiting For the Lord  Genesis 3: 8-20  Isaiah 7:  Acts 1: 1-11

Advent – Waiting For the Lord  We know about waiting!  Advent literally means ‘coming’.  It’s about promises, we wait for them.  Three points about waiting:  1. Hope, Biblical hope like Jeremiah 14:22, “Do any of the idols of the nations bring rain? Do the skies themselves send down showers? No, it is you, O Lord our God. Therefore our hope is in you, for you are the one who does all this.”

Advent – Waiting For the Lord  Galatians 5:5, “But by faith we eagerly await through the spirit the righteousness for which for which we hope.”  V. 6 “the only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love.”  Some healthy anxiety in waiting for something important, something wonderful.

Advent – Waiting For the Lord  Job said (29:21-23), “Men listened to me expectantly, waiting in silence for my counsel. After I had spoken, they spoke no more; my words fell gently on their ears. They waited for me as for showers and drank in my words as the spring rain.”  2. Looking, watching… Psalm 59:9, “O my strength, I watch for you; You, O God, are my fortress, my loving God.”

Advent – Waiting For the Lord  Jesus said, “It will be good for those servants whose master finds them watching when he comes. (Luke 12:37)  Psalm 37: 9 tells us, “Those who hope in the Lord will inherit the land.” =Patience!!  3. Prepared, ready for action.  Mark 3:9, “(Jesus) told his disciples to have a small boat ready for him, to keep the people from crowding him.” = be ready!

Advent – Waiting For the Lord  Negative example is Psalm 56: 6, where robbers “conspire, they lurk, they watch my steps, eager to take my life.”  Too much info about waiting??  Never forget “Jesus is the Reason for the Season!”  His Presence is the greatest gift, way better than any presents!

Advent – Waiting For the Lord  Acts 1:6 is also about waiting, only God knows how long we must wait for Jesus to come again.  He expects us to be busy hoping, watching, and being ready to welcome back the Lord and King of the Universe.  Praise and serve him as you wait for the Lord!
