“Behold, I send My messenger, And he will prepare the way before Me. And the Lord, whom you seek, Will suddenly come to His temple; the Messenger of the covenant whom you delight.  Behold, He is coming, Says the Lord of hosts.”   Malachi 3:1

 

Rev. Banks continued his Christmas series “The Promise of Christmas” titled The Promise of Joy, with scripture text taken from Malachi. Last week we lit our advent candle of Hope and this week we light the candle of Christ our Joy.  May the joyful promise of Your presence, O God, make us rejoice in our hope of Salvation.  O come, O come, Emmanuel.
