12-9-2012 + Pr. Luke Ulrich + Romans 15:4-7 "Enduring & Encouraging with Hope"

St. Paul's direction to the Roman Christians to end their feuding and be united in their hope is very fitting also for us to heed as we wait during this Advent Season for the Lord to come! By turning to God's Word and Sacraments we find the ability to endure and we are encouraged by God to withstand the troubles of this waiting period!
