When Grown-Ups Stop Believing | Kid Again Part 1

First Sunday of Advent | Isaiah 64:1-9, Mark 13:24-37

Kids ask for ponies, world peace, and impossible things at Christmas. Adults ask for gift cards and towels. Somewhere between childhood and adulthood, we stopped believing God could do the impossible—and we called it "maturity."

In this first message of our Advent series, Pastor Howard challenges us to become kids again. To pray bold prayers. To stay awake and watch for God to move. To believe that breakthrough is coming—not someday, but now.

What if the "realistic" thinking we've embraced is actually spiritual death? What if God is still tearing open heavens, shaking mountains, and doing things no one expects? What if we can actually hasten the coming of His kingdom through watching, praying, and living with holy anticipation?

This Advent, stop settling for the possible. Believe God can do what only God can do. Stay awake. Keep watching. And discover what happens when grown-ups dare to believe again.

Challenge: For the next 3 Sundays leading through Christmas, live like a kid on Christmas Eve—eyes wide open, fully expecting God to show up and do the impossible.
