Advent Vespers
December 7, 2022
Gospel: Luke 3:1–9
OUR THEME FOR WORSHIP TODAY
Our Advent expectation continues as we wait to celebrate the gift of God’s promised Son to be our Savior. Like us, Abraham struggled as God’s promise seemed less likely to come about, especially as the years passed into decades. As our faith may at times grow weak, we are tempted to take matters into our own hands, only to discover that our efforts fail.
That is one reason we are here again this day, in order that God’s Word and Spirit strengthen our faith, even in the face of all doubts, to wait upon God’s sure and gracious promises. The true Son of Abraham is the One whom God has sent and designated, saying, “This is My beloved Son.” Jesus brings all of God’s promises together to make us sons and daughters of God. Believe it. Live it.
