Freedom – Josias Hansen
For our third Sunday of Advent, Josias digs into the freedom the Israelites were craving from their national oppressors. They waited for the Messiah to come and triumph over all their nationalistic oppressors, but instead, Jesus provided the true freedom from their ultimate oppressor and broke their chains of sin and death through his life, death and resurrection. As we hunger for this true freedom, we can now experience Christ’s freedom in becoming the people God created us to be.

Ask Seek Knock – Josias Hansen
When Jesus teaches that we are to ask, seek, and knock, he is not talking about getting material possessions from God. He’s talking about the kingdom. If we want God’s kingdom, God is ready to give it. He won’t trick us, nor force feed it to us, but his desire is that we receive it, find it and enter it.

Feasting Through Fasting – Josias Hansen
Josias shows that God is not wanting us to suppress our hedonistic desires, but to correctly aim them to find their ultimate fulfillment in God. Thus, when we fast, it is not simply a practice of self-denial, but rather a time for our souls to feast upon the goodness of God.
