In this first week of our Advent series “Singing While We Wait,” we explore one of the most universal human experiences: waiting.

Waiting can be mundane, exciting, painful, or full of longing. The Bible is filled with people who waited—Noah in the ark, Abraham and Sarah for a child, Israel for deliverance. And just like them, we often find ourselves waiting for God to move, heal, answer, or renew.

This sermon invites us to recover that same holy rhythm through the first Advent song: a song of hope. Hope rooted not in wishful thinking, but in remembering God’s faithfulness yesterday so we can trust His faithfulness tomorrow.

If you’re carrying anxiety, longing, or unanswered prayers, this message offers a way forward:

sing while you wait—because God is working even now.
