Some have said that waiting is the hardest part of life. This weekend we will be celebrating the second weekend of Advent and Advent is all about waiting.
For more than a thousand years the church has called the four weeks before Christmas “Advent”. It is not a time of celebrating; it is a time of waiting. It reminds us of how the people of Israel waited for hundreds of years for the Messiah to come. For centuries the prophets declared, “Someday, God is going to send the Messiah who will save his people.”
This weekend we will be looking at the book of Micah and what he had to say about the coming Messiah 700 years before His birth.
Join us this week at Crossroads Cranberry as we start our new series Revealed
The Old Testament contains hundreds of prophecies about Jesus. They reveal what he would be and do; that Jesus would himself reveal what God is like. As we prepare for Christmas we will look at several of the OT prophecies to see what they teach us about following Jesus today.
