REjoice in Waiting: Messenger by Pastor Jeff Cloeter

Luke 3:1-14

This Advent season we focus on some of the less-familiar prophets who told of the coming Messiah who would finally establish God’s kingNo one wants to be the bearer of bad news.  Everyone wants to hear good news.  The prophet Malachi’s name means “messenger.”  He had a message for Israel.  The news was not what they wanted, but what they needed.  In Advent preparation, we hear the hard words of the prophet.  The truth about our sin, and the greater truth about our Savior.
