Isaiah 40:1-11 2 Peter 3:8-18 Mark 1:1-8
As we continue our Advent Kingdom journey to Christmas, in our readings today we see this Kingdom as announced, arriving and awaited. How long do we wait for the fulfillment of the Kingdom? Has God forgotten about this world? Do we wait in limbo? No! God is patiently calling all to know Him. Peter reminds us that we have a world to win and grace to explore.
Advent Prayers
