Do You See What I See? Waiting - Part 2
Some were waiting for Him. Others despised Him. Many would praise Him. The world would behold Him. In our Christmas series "Do You See What I See?" we will examine what it means to wait, seek, praise, receive, and tell as we take a fresh look at the Biblical characters of the Christmas story. This first message is Waiting - Part 2.

Keep waiting. Keep trusting God. Keep believing, even if you don’t understand. God will give you His grace to endure.

Let us wait with faith, obedience, humility, and integrity just like Joseph and Mary.
