In this message, Lyell teaches from Luke 1-2 and Jeremiah 29. He shows how Israel was instructed to wait for God’s promise of salvation, but the waiting caused the people to form a different idea of salvation. Israel was expecting God to save them as a king who defeated Rome; they were not ready for a baby in a manger who came to conquer sin. This message reminds us that believing in God is not equal to placing your hope in God. This advent we should examine our lives and place all of our hope in God, not this world.
