Editors’ note:

This is the first sermon of our advent podcast series, which Pastor Dwayne Cline is preaching at James Street North.

We all need hope. Hope when facing a medical crisis. Hope when bankruptcy looms. Hope when the overwhelming uncertainty of our future is crushing. Hope when we’re devastatingly hurt by the actions of another. Hope when we’ve lost our way. Hope when our soul is aching. Advent Hope is not whimsical or ambiguous. Advent Hope is certain and true. It is a confident expectation. Advent hope is secured in the person and work of Christ – it is as dependable as God is. In a world of uncertainty we need an unmovable anchor we can cling to. That anchor is the hope we have in Jesus Christ.
