Pastor Gail Linstrom – “Celebrating His Presence” – Verdugo Community Church December 18, 2022

In her sermon, “Celebrating His Presence,” Pastor Gail looks to Isaiah 40:1 – 11 to remind us that God is a caring and loving God who treated his people, exiled because of their sin, as already being forgiven, and comforted them in the midst of their pain and loss. This is the same God who has shown us grace and mercy during the last three years of chaos and loss, and other traumatic times in our lives. We need to love and treat others the same way just as the Lord has loved us. The Lord wants us to live in the present and do what we can now for others, rather than focusing on a distant reward in heaven.
