What Do You Fear? || In the Time of King Herod, We Long for God to Break In || First Sunday of Advent

Rev. Dr. Donna Claycomb Sokol || Pastor
What does it feel like to wait for rescue when the world is coming apart—when your nation is in turmoil, your future appears to be threatened, and your own heart is breaking? Luke calls it “the time of King Herod.” Lamentations names it from the depths of a pit. And if we are being honest, many of us know that place all too well.
Zechariah lived under Roman occupation. The poet of Lamentations lived in exile. Both cried out for God to show up—to break in—just as we do today when fear is loud and hope feels far away.
Join us this week as we seek to step into their stories and discover why God’s silence is never absence, and why our deepest ache may be the very place God regularly chooses to break in with hope.
Don’t miss it. This might be the word your heart has been waiting for.
