This week at New Hope, Greg concluded our Christmas series His Story with a message focused on waiting with hope as we stand between seasons. Looking at the overlooked figures of Simeon and Anna, he reminded us that God often works through humble, faithful people who remain expectant, even after long periods of waiting. Greg challenged us to see life’s difficulties as “beneficial adversaries”—circumstances God can use to draw us closer to Him and shape us into who He’s calling us to be. As we prepare to enter a new year, the message encourages us not to lose hope, but to welcome Jesus—the King from the manger throne—to reign in every area of our lives.
