Divine Service: The 2nd Sunday in Advent

Messiah will hold its weekly Divine Service on Sunday, December 7th at 10:00 am; the service is scheduled to be livestreamed at www.youtube.com/messiahgr, our website and our Facebook page. Adult Bible Class will be held beforehand at 9:00 am, and children’s Sunday School will be held following the Divine Service, beginning about 11:15 am.

Wisdom, understanding, counsel & might are unveiled in Jesus of Nazareth. In his letter to the Romans, Paul unwraps the complete truth — Jesus embraces even Gentile nations with divine hope, joy & peace. John the Baptist, with his abrasive appearance & unexpected rhetoric, forcefully proclaims both judgment against arrogant Pharisees & the need for repentance. Ultimately, Jesus alone casts final judgment on the fate of unbelievers & eternally claims salvation for repentant sinners. (Psalm 105:4-8 & Isaiah 40:3b; Isaiah 11:1-10; Romans 15:4-13; Matthew 3:1-12)
