Why do Christians share their story? Psalm 107 shows us that redemption looks different for each person, but the rescuer is always the same. This message introduces the This Is My Story series and calls us to consider the steadfast love of the Lord.

Josh Keller reminds us through scripture that we too, like Mary, can experience real joy regardless of our circumstance! That joy comes only through trusting in Jesus and the promises of God.

As part of our Waiting Well Advent series, this sermon explores how God’s love shows up in seasons of waiting—how He finishes what He starts, how praise grows deeper through silence, and how what God does in us is often meant to flow through us to others. Using the acrostic LOVE, we’re reminded that:

• The Lord keeps His promises
• Overflowing praise follows a right view of God's faithfulness
• We become Vessels of God’s love for others
• Jesus is the Enlightening Light, the Rising Sun who leads us

Advent Week 2: Peace in The Pause. Peace begins with God’s presence, not answers. God welcomes honest questions and meets us in our confusion. God anchors peace in His unbreakable promises, not in our abilities. Peace arrives when we surrender, even when we don’t know the way.
