A Hope That Waits

Dec 14, 2025  •  The Rev. Charlie Holt

Can growth in faith be rushed? Recalling college shortcuts with purchased lecture notes, the sermon sets the law of the school against the law of the farm from James 5:7-10. Impatience manipulates relationships and grumbles against others, putting our timeline in God's place, while lament brings our questions honestly to him. Even John the Baptist, doubting in prison, receives a gentle answer, and Advent invites us to wait.
