Connection Church Statesboro

The sermon focuses on the theme of waiting, particularly during the Advent season, and encourages listeners to find hope and peace in Jesus Christ. It begins with the story of the wise men and Herod, contrasting their responses to Jesus' birth. The message emphasizes that acknowledging Jesus as King is essential, even when He feels like a threat. The speaker shares a personal story about his grandmother's struggle with depression and suicide, illustrating how Jesus remained present even in difficult times. Ultimately, the sermon offers three reasons why waiting on God is worthwhile: He is working, He is with us, and Jesus shows us how to wait well, reinforcing the message that Jesus is the source of joy, peace, and hope.
