399. Advent Series (Week 1): Rumours of God: Peace // Andre Tan

The City SG Podcast

“Seeking to act in our own time, rather than waiting on God’s, doesn’t accelerate the work of God in our lives; it corrupts it. Rather than seizing our destiny, we sabotage it.” - @andrejosiah Pst Andre kicked off our Advent series today with examining the contrasting responses of Joseph and Herod to the impending birth of Jesus. He invited us to reflect and ask ourselves: how do we respond to uncertainties in our lives? Do we gravitate toward seeking control like Herod did, or do we submit our outcomes to God, and to His will, like Joseph? In disruption, we learn that we are not in control of our lives, but that we can relinquish this burden to God who gives us peace as we surrender and trust in Christ, our true King. As we journey toward Christmas, may we prayerfully reflect on areas in our lives where we can enter greater surrender to Jesus through acts of obedience and trust.
