This week, Pastor David took us on a journey of hope, the kind that only Jesus can bring as part of our Advent series, Gifts of Christmas. He shared a heartfelt story about trying to fix an old rototiller and how that experience drew a parallel with God's divine work in us. Unlike mere refurbishment, God offers us true restoration. Pastor David reminded us that God's plan for restoration isn't just about cleaning up the surface, but about bringing us back to our original, intended state. Through the story of Mary in Luke 1, we're encouraged to live with hope, knowing that God is already at work, bringing His restoration plan to fruition in our lives through Jesus. Embrace the hope that comes from understanding God’s intentions for us, not just to polish us up, but to truly restore us.
