Welcome to worship at Guymon Church of the Nazarene! Today we begin the beautiful season of Advent, a time of waiting, longing, and expecting the arrival of Jesus — the Light who breaks into our darkness. This morning, Pastor Kason Oakes brings a message from Isaiah 8–9 as we focus on the first theme of Advent: HOPE. We’ll explore why Israel found itself in darkness, how God stepped into that darkness with a promise, and how Jesus — our Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, and Prince of Peace — is still our hope today. We will also share in Scripture, prayer, worship, and the lighting of the Hope Candle. If you're watching from home or from afar, know that you belong here. We pray you sense the presence of Jesus wherever you are. Making room for people to belong, believe, and become like Jesus. Welcome to Guymon Church of the Nazarene.
