GOD IS GATHERING

The prophet Isaiah spoke to people who had surmounting national, regional and personal challenges. Yet, there was a message from heaven of a servant Messiah who is coming with righteousness and tenderness. God invites is to experience His glory in a powerful way as He gathers us together now. 

The glory of the advent of Jesus includes: 

1) Seeing- Hope for people who are tempted to despair.
2) Savoring- Joy for people who are tempted to distance. 
3) Spreading- Purpose for people who are tempted to drift.
