What gets in the way of us feeling satisfied with our lives? What does Proverbs have to say about how to live a satisfied life, and how can we get there?

Pastor Ryan’s Advent series for 2023 sermon is called “And He Will Be Called…”. It is based on the names given to the Messiah in the O Antiphons, a set of prayers from the early church liturgy that is best known to us in the verses of the carol “O Come, O Come Emmanuel”. He looks at the four verses in the hymnal that we use, one for each of the Sundays in Advent.

December 3: Desire of Nations
December 10: Wisdom
December 17: Dayspring (Rising Sun)
December 24: Emmanuel
