What if the most challenging moments of waiting could become our most significant opportunities for spiritual growth? Pastor Rob explores the profound significance of Advent - not just as a season of remembering Christ's first coming, but as a divine invitation to embrace the weight of waiting for His return. Drawing on John 1:1-5, he shows that our entire existence as Christians is rooted in Jesus Christ, making our waiting deeply purposeful. Through personal stories of waiting for everything from Christmas presents to church-planting decisions, Pastor Rob shows that waiting isn't merely a passive exercise but a transformative process in which God shapes our character, builds our trust, and increases our spiritual strength. He challenges the congregation to view waiting not as a burden but as a gift that reminds us of God's sovereignty, develops our hope, and helps us avoid self-inflicted disasters. We are called to embrace this season of Advent by intentionally slowing down and seeking God's kingdom first,
