We conclude our Old Testament series with the story of David.  By understanding the history of the Old Testament, we can fully appreciate the longing and expectation for the fulfillment of the promise that there would be a Messiah to come.

Prayer for Advent
In this Advent of expectation
draw us together in unity,
that our praise and worship
might echo in these walls
and also through our lives.

In this Advent of expectation
draw us together in mission,
that the hope within
might be the song we sing,
and the melody of our lives.

In this Advent of expectation
draw us together in service,
that the path we follow
might lead us from a stable
to a glimpse of eternity.
