Stepping Into the Story

December 1, 2024 – Stepping Into the Story – Isaiah 64:1-4

The Protagonist Advent series gets rolling this Sunday in worship. The message is titled “Stepping into the Story.” Our scripture passage will be Isaiah 64:1-4. Hint: The sermons will all be based on passages from the prophet Isaiah during this series. The daily reader starts Sunday as well. If you still need a book, you can pick one up on Sunday before or after worship or in the church office first thing on Monday morning. Furthermore, stay tuned to our church’s Facebook page for weekly videos from our staff and church members sharing their reflections from the daily reader.

We long for God to show up in our mess and fix it. When God does come, it isn’t always as we expect.

Isaiah 64:1-4

Isaiah 64:1-4
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
64 O that you would tear open the heavens and come down,
so that the mountains would quake at your presence—
2 [a]as when fire kindles brushwood
and the fire causes water to boil—
to make your name known to your adversaries,
so that the nations might tremble at your presence!
3 When you did awesome deeds that we did not expect,
you came down; the mountains quaked at your presence.
4 From ages past no one has heard,
no ear has perceived,
no eye has seen any God besides you,
who works for those who wait for him.
