Send us a textChristmas is supposed to be a season of hope, but for many of us, it feels heavy. The calendar is full. The expectations are high. And the world feels anything but peaceful. If you have ever wondered why the most "joyful" time of year can leave you feeling exhausted, anxious, or numb... this sermon is for you.Pastor Nicole opens our Advent series "Like a Child" with a powerful reminder that hope is not something we create, but it is something we receive. Through the surprising true story of a silent night on a World War I battlefield and the ancient promise of Isaiah, this sermon speaks to anyone walking through darkness and longing for the light that actually lasts.This is not a message about pretending everything is fine. It is about hope that steps into the mess with us. It is about a peace that does not fade when the circumstances change.Whether you are feeling worn down by the season, unsure what you believe, or simply looking for something steady to hold onto, this episode offers space to breathe, reflect, and rediscover where real hope is found.Episodes in the "Like a Child" series:Hope like a ChildPeace like a ChildJoy like a ChildLove like a ChildLinkoln shares his story on why he started coming to Ravenna Church of the Nazarene and shares why you should consider doing the same.Ravenna Church of the Nazarene530 Main Street, Ravenna, KY 40472Support the showThe Dirt Path Sermon Podcast is a place for real sermons that speak to real life.
