Hope in the Waiting

What happens when hope feels deferred? When the weight of sin, corruption, and brokenness seems unending, how do we endure?

Drawing from Micah 7 and the timeless questions posed in Langston Hughes’ A Dream Deferred, this message dives deep into the tension of waiting—waiting for justice, restoration, and the coming of our Savior. Like Micah, we see a society marked by disunity, corruption, and despair. And yet, Micah’s response is one of hope: “But as for me, I watch in hope for the Lord, I wait for God my Savior; my God will hear me” (Micah 7:7).

This Advent season, we celebrate the first coming of Jesus while anchoring ourselves in anticipation of His return. As we endure, we do so with purpose—sharing the gospel, shining His light, and standing firm in the promise that God will come and He will act.
