In his sermon titled “Joy in the Waiting: A Surprise in the Season of Advent,” Dennis highlights the profound significance of joy during Advent, noting that it rises above life’s challenges as illustrated in Philippians and Zephaniah. He meditates on the joy that comes from repentance, as emphasised by John the Baptist, and how this renewal process opens our hearts to transformation and fosters a closer bond with God.
Dennis urges us to nurture joy through prayer, thankfulness, and trust, emphasising that authentic joy can be discovered amid uncertainty and waiting. Ultimately, he encourages everyone to welcome the unexpected joys on our path as we look forward to Christ’s second coming.
