Advent 2023 week 1

Advent 2023 week 1

Hannah…the first Sunday of Advent…waiting, anticipation
The Sunday of Hope…
The Prophecy Candle, expectant preparations…
The name Hannah means “favored by God” yet the story of Hannah in the Bible seems otherwise. Hannah was barren for many years, praying & believing for a child, waiting, hopeful, devoted to God…
Hannah chose to trust God.
A choice, a prayer for a child, understood & heard by her Father…waiting…
the season of Advent… though celebrated at Christmas - much larger.
The first 2 Sundays of Advent look forward to Christ’s second coming,
the last 2 Sundays look back to His first,
the birth…
So much meaning, so many lessons to remember, reminders that Hope is the flame that burns bright in every story… the path may be dark- but Hope is the flame to light the way…
Walk this Advent season, aware, prayerful, believing, trusting…
like Hannah
“My heart rejoices in the LORD….There is no one holy like the LORD; there is no one besides you; there is no Rock like our God.”
1 Samuel 2:1-2
