Advent 3 at Immanuel
The Dungeon of Dashed Expectations
This Sunday, we step inside the stable again — not the picture-perfect one from greeting cards and front-lawn nativity scenes, but the real one: drafty, dim, honest.
The kind of place where doubt sits next to hope, and joy shows up looking surprisingly like courage.
Join us from John's "Dungeon of Dashed Expectations," as we ask with him:
“Are you the one… or should we wait for another?”
And Jesus answers not with judgment, but with light...the kind that reaches all the way into locked rooms, weary hearts, and every place where we are waiting to be found.
Join us as we light the third candle of Advent, lament with those who suffer, celebrate joy that doesn’t depend on certainty, and make room in our own stable for neighbors near and far — including those finding shelter this week through Craig’s Doors, and all who enter this space carrying their own dungeons of doubt and fear.
Come.
Bring your questions.
Bring your longing.
Bring your brave, flickering hope.
There's a place for all in this stable.
There’s a place for you in this stable.
