How Long?
By: Greg Mozel
Series: Advent
Sometimes we ask "how long?" when we are suffering with pain, filled with anxiety, brokenhearted over injustice in the world, wondering if God will ever answer prayer, and so much more. We'll meet Simeon and Anna, two elderly people who had waited a lifetime for God to bring the spiritual redemption of their lost neighbors and consolation for their suffering nation, when suddenly the infant Messiah is dedicated in the Temple, and they are chosen as the two witnesses required by God's Law to proclaim Messiah's arrival.

Dec 13, 2015Advent ConspiracyBy: Greg MozelSeries: AdventThis Sunday is the third week of Advent and we will continue comparing and contrasting the shepherds and the magi by learning more about the magi from Matthew 2:1-12.

The magi were probably Gentiles, intellectually elite, powerful people, while the shepherds were Jewish, lower class, forgotten people in their culture. We’ll be inspired by the journey of these diverse people and challenged to serve diverse people in our world today.
