When God Goes Silent (Preview Service Message)
It’s amazing, but after hundreds of years of keeping the promise of a Messiah in front of His people, God went silent for 400 years before Jesus was actually born. Generation after generation was born and died with no reminder of a Messiah other than what was already written and passed down. It was so long that when Jesus was actually born they didn’t even recognize Him.
Sadly, Christmas is a time for a lot of us when even though the world is (sort of) reminding us about the birth of Jesus, God seems silent. Whether it’s the busyness of the season or the pain of losing a loved one or some other painful Christmas memory, Christmas is a difficult time for many. And understandably so.
Whether at Christmas or any other time of year, what do we do when God is silent? The last chapter that was written down before God began His 400 years of silence gives us some great insight. That’s what we’ll be looking at on Sunday at our final preview service.
Whether God seems silent to you right now or you’re hearing Him every day, hope you can make it!
