Christmas at Hope

“Great Expectations” – Miraculous Births of the Bible 

This Advent Season we are looking at several miraculous births of people in the Bible who are powerful prophetic reminders of God's faithfulness and purpose. While it can be helpful to read ourselves into the stories, it is also important to remember how these Old Testament characters prophetically point us towards the coming of Christ and the turning point His miraculous birth has given the world. 

Through His birth and the others, we also see the Holy Spirit's ministry and empowerment bringing forth new life, hope, and miracles, impacting both individuals and generations far into the future and ultimately for eternity. 

We encourage you this Advent Season, to expectantly prepare for what God is speaking to you and through you to others, as together we participate to see His purposes and Kingdom of new life established on the earth.

    John the Baptist - Expecting to Prepare the Way

    John’s miraculous birth was for a specific and special reason —he was called to prepare the way for the Messiah. His life reminds us that God often births something new to prepare for a greater move of His Spirit. What God is preparing us for is often not just about us individually but a wider purpose that can affect generations to come.

    The birth of Jesus is the ultimate fulfillment of God’s promises and the greatest expectation realized. Through His birth, God’s plan of salvation was set into motion and we as individuals and as church both prepare for the future coming of Christ and participate in seeing God's kingdom being lived out here on earth.

    The Early Church - Expecting a New Move of the Spirit

    The birth of the Church at Pentecost represents a new move of God through the Holy Spirit. The Church was born with a mission to carry the gospel to the ends of the earth, and everyone one of us is called to partner with God in His mission or restoring the earth to Himself.
