As we gather for another sermon with the Lookout family, prepare to have your perceptions of biblical narratives transformed. Our upcoming Quarterly Weekend in the Word event promises an immersive dive into Scripture using an oral Bible inductive method, a practice that's reshaping how stories from the Bible are understood and retained, particularly among illiterate pastors in Africa. Experience the potency of biblical storytelling with us and discover not only a method but a deeply personal journey into faith. The art of storytelling becomes a bridge, connecting us to the heart of the biblical message, fostering a profound intimacy with God that especially resonates in our moments of waiting.
This week's dialog takes us back to a time of intense anticipation, to the epoch preceding Jesus' arrival when Israel's hope for the Messiah flickered in the darkness of political strife and occupation. We weave through history, uncovering the Israelites' steadfast observance of God's law and their fervent musings over John the Baptist's role in God's master plan. Ponder with us the extraordinary timing of the Roman occupation and how it set the stage for the incarnation of Christ, as Paul describes in Galatians, "when the time had fully come." It's a narrative that not only recounts the chronicles of yesteryears but also invigorates our current walk of faith, reminding us that divine timing is impeccable and always worth the wait.
This sermon was recorded at a Sunday morning gathering at Church of the Lookout in Longmont, Colorado.
