Remember how you waited for Christmas as a child, the anticipation building with each passing day, hoping to unwrap your heart’s desire? Drawing on those memories, Mike and I, your hosts Ryan Braley, bring you a profound understanding of the biblical Hebrew concept of hope, 'kava', that embodies a tense waiting for a release. In the tranquil season of Advent, we invite you to join us as we explore the deeper meaning of waiting with hope for God's saving, restoring, and healing power. Engage in our heartfelt discourse that walks you through the Old Testament, revealing the significance of actively waiting and hoping for God to make things right, and imprinting an inspiring reminder about the Lord's unfailing love and redemption.

As we journey further into the Advent season, let us move beyond passive waiting and actively illuminate the world around us. In this shared space of our liturgical or modern gatherings at Central in Elk River or online, we'll explore how each one of us can be a beacon of light, restoring peace, fostering healthy relationships, and pushing back against evil as we await God's promises. Imbued with a sense of purpose, we encourage you to contribute towards establishing the kingdom of God in your own communities. As we navigate these challenging times, let us hold onto the hope for a better tomorrow, infusing the Advent season with peace and an unwavering resolve to make a difference.
