Waiting is generally something that the world does not like to do. Waiting is inconvenient and, dpeending on the source of the waiting, can be seen as some kind of affront to our personhood or perceieved as the result of incompentance or malice. Sure, there are times when the frustration of waiting is justified and worthy of challenge. But I believe that learning to wait well, no matter the reason or the season, is a spiritual discipline that contributes to emotional health, spiritual vitality, and actions that are grounded in faith. Our Advent sermon series will look at ways in which we can wait well, challenging the negaive assumptions that waiting means inaction, apathy, or a lack of passion, and moving toward waiting that is deliberate, discplined, and just.
