In the message for the fourth Sunday of Advent, Pastor Paul talks about Matthew’s Gospel telling of the birth of Jesus. The Prophet Isaiah tells us that we can expect Immanuel, God is with us. Joseph hears from an angel in Matthew’s Gospel and Jesus is born. So what do we do while we wait for the Messiah of Christmas and the Messiah who will come again? Well, we love God and our neighbor and we wait and watch and wonder at Christmas.

John the Baptist is in prison and despite having baptized Jesus, he still wonders if Jesus is the Messiah he has been waiting for. Pastor Paul talks about this and about our own doubts, and why we need to believe even as we wait for the Messiah during Advent.

Special guest preacher, Pastor Rob Rose, Assistant to the Bishop for the Florida-Bahamas Synod, ELCA, preaches on a text that features a man in a camel hair coat eating locusts and wild honey. That's a strange place to start, but we promise, the message is worth hearing. God doesn't define you by one bad decision in your life and God wants you to know that God desires much more for your life (and it's better!)
