The Rest In Waiting

Advent: Isaiah's Prophetic Promises

December 28th is Sabbath Sunday: An intentional day of rest from all regular and ministry work, as we gather with friends and family in homes during this strategic day between Christmas and New Year’s.

Together, we’ll reflect on Isaiah 40:31 and rediscover the strength that comes from waiting on the Lord. Through Scripture, communion, and quiet reflection, we’ll remember that Jesus was born to die and rise again.

As we proclaim His death and await His return, we’re reminded that our hope is secure and our strength is renewed in Him. This is a moment to pause and rest in God’s promises. Join us as we close Isaiah's Prophetic Promises with The Rest in Waiting.
