Sing a New Song: Remembering God's Faithfulness This Advent

This message invites us into the ancient song of Psalm 98, revealing how remembrance becomes the spark that ignites praise in our lives. We discover that when life feels overwhelming and worship feels distant, we're called to remember God's faithfulness—not just in Scripture, but in our own stories. The psalm that once reminded Israel of their rescue from Egypt now points us to Jesus, the ultimate fulfillment of God's promises. What's particularly powerful is how Mary, the mother of Jesus, sang her own version of Psalm 98 when she encountered God's miraculous work in her life. She took the melody of ancient promises and added her own verses, showing us that we too can sing a new song this Advent season. This isn't about creating something from nothing, but about recognizing the fresh ways God is working in our lives right now. As we remember what Christ has already done, we're filled with joy. As we anticipate what He will do, we're sustained by hope. The message challenges us to move beyond the routines of Christmas and truly prepare room in our hearts for transformation, accepting God's invitation to join in what He's doing—both in fulfilling ancient promises and in writing new chapters in our own lives.
