This Christmas, our series is not focused on what happened in the stable at Bethlehem. We aren’t going to dig into the occurrences in the shepherd’s field or the divine appointment of 3 wise men who followed a star. We are going to backup, not 49 days before the first Christmas… more like 49 weeks, to examine the spirit of expectation
within the Jewish people. We’re going to talk about the Hope that they had for the coming Messiah. I believe their hope 2000 years ago, can inspire us to have “A Thrill of Hope” this Christmas season.
