A Light for the Nations

What if God is at work even when life feels ordinary?

In Luke 2:22–52, we see the final movement of the infancy narrative, not filled with spectacle, but with faithful obedience, long waiting, partial understanding, and quiet years of obscurity. Before Jesus ever preached, performed miracles, or was recognized by the crowds, He was being formed.

This message explores how the Light for the nations was shaped through ordinary faithfulness, and how that same pattern brings hope to us when obedience feels repetitive, waiting feels long, and God’s purposes seem unfinished.

If you’ve ever wondered whether God is working in the slow, unseen seasons of your life, this passage, and this Advent message, is for you.
