Love Inconceivable Came Down to Earth: A 21st Century Resource for the Third Sunday of Advent

Gathering
Leader:
Joy indescribable,
Hope unbelievable,
Love inconceivable came down to earth!

All:

We gather excitedly,
We stand expectantly,
We wait patiently for Christ to come again!

Confession
Lord, we confess that we are anxious. As we prepare to celebrate the Messiah's birth, we also wait for Jesus to come again. Sometimes we are hopeless when we think of peace. Sometimes we are doubtful when we think of healing. Sometimes we cannot imagine what it will be like to see your full glory. Yes, we wait; but we confess that we are sometimes impatient, Lord.

Words of Assurance
Christ is coming again. Believe! God will help our unbelief.
