Advent Week 1: We Have Hope Because God Is Great

The story of Christ's birth is a story of promise, hope, and revolutionary love. So, what happened? What was once a time to celebrate the birth of a savior has somehow turned into a season of stress, shopping lists, and debt. In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, Caesar starts a special Advent Series by diving deep into the greatness of God and how believing this changes what and Who we put our hope in this holiday season and in everyday life. In This Episode You’ll Learn:

• The four eternal truths about God that change everything. (The 4 G's)
• Why we continue trusting in "self" yet hoping for more.
• How Jesus was born to bring and fulfill hope!
• How to discern the areas of life you are still trying to control.

Get started here... From this episode: “For me the issue is escapism. I have to choose between a fantasy in which I am sovereign and the real world in which God is sovereign. I have to choose between my false sovereignty and God’s real sovereignty. And you know what? I suck at being God. I am NOT sovereign. I am NOT in actual control of anything. Where's the hope in that?!”
