New Life Downtown

Mary's song is about the mighty being brought low and the lowly being lifted up. But when, decades later, she saw her son hanging on the cross, did she think it would look like that? What do we do with delayed expectations, with hopes that have begun to come true but have not fully arrived? Pastor Glenn Packiam challenges us to live between the two 'Advents' - the incarnation and the return of Christ - with faith, hope, and love. Faith says that there are things we cannot see; hope says that this is not the end; and love invites us to live in the future now.
