Sunday November 30, 2025 ADVENT
Sunday, November 30
This is the first Sunday of Advent. The meaning of Advent, according to the dictionary is, the arrival of a notable person, thing, or event. In the life of a Christian that notable person is Jesus. Advent, waiting on Jesus, is so special because this is the only space where The One you are waiting for is waiting with you. Jesus is here and He is coming.
At ITH, specifically during our Sunday morning Hope Fellowship meetings, we are asking the question, “How are we waiting?”
Scripture: Luke 2:25-35
Take away: Simeon, who is an old man, is waiting on the coming of the Messiah to rescue Israel. He was told he would not die until he had seen the Lord’s Messiah. Imagine a life of waiting like that. It reminds me of Mr. Jingles, the mouse, on the movie, “The Green Mile.”
I can imagine Simeon spent the early years of his life jumping whenever he heard of a new person coming to town… but then over the years, he found a “norm” and he just lived his life and worshipped in the Temple and ministered where the Lord led. Until, “that day the Spirit led him to the Temple” (Luke 2:27).
Listen friends, when we are intimate with the Holy Spirit, we do not have to have FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out). He will always lead us to the right place and at the right time.
Prayer: Jesus, today we celebrate that You are here and we are excited that You are coming. Help us to trust Holy Spirit to lead us as we wait and not be concerned that we are missing out. Lord, if our eyes are on You, we won’t miss anything. Help us to keep our eyes on You. We love You, Jesus. Amen.
