Jesus In: Expectation
Many of us know how it feels not only to wait on God, but to wait on God for a long time to move in our lives. Believe it or not, this type of expectant waiting is a common experience among God’s people throughout the Scriptures. In fact, it is so common that the ancient scribes who arranged the order of the Old Testament books did so in a way that heightened the reader's expectation and longing for God to move. As we conclude our series of Jesus in Every Genre, we will see that He is the final and complete fulfillment of the bursting expectation of the Old Testament.

This Week's Message: "The Way of the Exile" by Pastor Steve Durand
We don’t often think about it, but the theme of “exile” is one of the biggest themes in all of the Bible. And the reason why it is so helpful to consider the various Old Testament stories of Israel when they were in exile, taken from their homes and immersed into a new culture that was hostile to God and to their faith, is because it helps us to think about the question: How do I live out my Christian faith today, while residing in a fragmented culture that is frequently indifferent or even hostile to my faith, and that does not sustain and support the deepest needs of my heart?
Join us for this week’s message, as we explore practical principles for living a believing life in a largely unbelieving world.
