Give You a Sign (Contemporary)

An Advent Song of Ascents

Rev. Will WhiteDecember 18, 2022Advent

On Sunday, December 18, 2022, Pender Lead Pastor Will White preached on "Give You a Sign" based on Matthew 1:18-25.

The Common Ground Praise Band sang His Name Shall Be, O Come All Ye Faithful, Silent Night, This Is Our God and Go Tell It On The Mountain.

This is odd, isn’t it? The last Sunday of Advent, yet there is a whole week until Christmas. May this extra time allow us a little breathing space to listen to Isaiah and to Matthew before we rush off to the exuberance and extravagance of Christmas.

"Give You a Sign" is the final sermon in the series titled "An Advent Song of Ascents". Isaiah is our anchor text for this Advent worship series. But Psalms gives us the mood, theme, or even soul. “I was glad when they said to me ‘Let us go to the house of the Lord!’” The opening line from Psalm 122 captures something of the Advent spirit this year. From “I was glad” to “go to the house of the Lord.” We are singing a song of ascent this Advent season.

We look forward to seeing you!

All of Pender's services are streamed live and in person. Masks are currently optional.
