Welcome to the 4th sermon in our series on the season of advent – the season of waiting, remembering, and expecting. (4 of 4)

Two themes that are expressed over and over again in the Bible that we might often miss are the themes of “waiting” and “remembering.” Throughout the Hebrew Scriptures, God tells his people through visions, through names, through prophets and dreams to remember that He has provided and to wait on him to provide again. Over and over we are tempted to make our own world, construct our own reality. We are often tempted with impatience that is fueled by our forgetfulness of God’s provision yesterday and a single vision for something else we need tomorrow. When we wait and remember, we enter into a trusting relationship with the God of scripture who, "in the fullness of time sent forth his Son, born of woman, born under the law, to redeem those who were under the law, so that we might receive adoption as sons.” (Gal 4:4-5)
