Traditionally, Advent is a season for believers to reflect on God’s promises. It’s easy to see how, after centuries of waiting, people can lose sight of the promises that God has made. However, just as the intertestamental believers hoped and waited for the coming of God’s promised Messiah, believers today hope and wait for the Lord’s return and the ultimate fulfillment of God’s greatest promise.

Throughout the pages of Scripture, we see how God delivered his people time and time again. It began in the Garden of Eden where humanity first fell, and God promised a plan of salvation through his Son, Jesus. It continued regularly through the Old Testament and into the New Testament. God keeps promise after promise to sustain and guide his people. 

Of course, those were events that took place thousands of years ago, but the tremendous faithfulness and protection of our God continues today! Always remember, our faithful God continues to carry his people in the palm of his hand. 

The Lord has faithfully taken care of our high school for over 70 years. When times were difficult, and funding or enrollment concerns seemed to jeopardize our future, the Lord provided. At all times, the Lord has given opportunities and blessings that no one could have dreamed or imagined. This year has been no different. Through unexpected blessings, we are embarking on a new Sports Center to enhance our academic and athletic facilities, giving us the ability to carry out our God-given mission for our current and future students. 

May your Advent season, your Christmas celebrations, and your new year be filled with the confident hope that our God is Forever Faithful!
