Simeon: A Lesson In Waiting & Obedience

Contributed by Tj Long Jr on Jan 1, 2024

Simeon and Anna are faithfully waiting but without the obedience of Joseph and Mary, the promises of God would've been delayed. We must be diligent as disciple-makers because to bring people the good news, to bring Jesus to them.

Christmas is over and now we have 358 days until Christmas 2024. If I was a child I’d be a little depressed about having to wait so long Christmas to come back around again. As I was growing up there were many things I felt like I waited on; a girl to like me, for me to be taller, for me to get my ...read more
