As we began Advent this past Sunday, November 29 at Redeemer Presbyterian Church in Charleston, SC, our senior pastor began a short sermon series to inspire us to not waste the wait. He challenged us to think about how we spend our time: What are we doing while we wait for the return of the King? How does the certainty of Advent shape our time while we wait? He encouraged us to be salt and light and ambassadors for Christ while we wait. And what do waiting people do? We watch. We prepare ourselves. We serve faithfully. The really exciting stuff is coming: The King will return! We must make the most of the time given to us by the Lord.
