Messengers: Heavenly Hosts
We continue our Advent worship series, Messengers. How have people throughout history heard the voice of God? Oftentimes, it comes through interactions with God’s messengers, or angels. Last week, in part one, we explored the various ways God’s messengers have brought people comfort, hope, and help. This week, we explore the “Heavenly Hosts.”

- How does the message of God’s ultimate victory over evil provide hope and comfort during challenging times? How can you share this hope with others who may be struggling?
