About this listen

What does it mean to wait with holy anticipation? In a message tracing God's promise of a King from Genesis to Revelation, Pastor Evan illuminates how Advent embodies both fulfillment and future hope. Through a journey through Scripture, he reveals how God's first whisper of redemption in Genesis 3:15 finds its "yes" in Jesus Christ – the promised King born in Bethlehem, exactly as prophesied. Yet Pastor Evan emphasizes that we now live between two Advents – celebrating Christ's first coming while eagerly awaiting His glorious return. This tension teaches us patient endurance and shapes our spiritual formation. Drawing on passages from Isaiah to Revelation, he paints a vivid picture of how Advent is not merely nostalgic reflection but a "fiercely hopeful" season that reminds us that every tear will be wiped away when our faithful King returns. The message culminates in a stirring call for the church to "wait with joy and confidence" – resting in God's perfect faithfulness while anticipating the day when every knee will bow before the returning King.
