The Promise Leads the Process This Week's Episode On this first Sunday of Advent, Pastor Bobby teaches us from Isaiah 9:2, 6-7 and shares that the impact we have on the outside happens when we get a vision for who we can be on the inside, with his message, “The Promise Leads the Process.” Our interview guest is Heather Martin, a wife, mother, and author who spent 14 years working as a career counselor to help people find direction and calling. Her new book,The Best Gift of All, Daily Readings and Activities for 24 days of Advent and 12 Days of Christmas for the Family, helps connect the Biblical story of Christmas to how we celebrate it today. Special music is provided by Connor Smith and Terron Brooks. Today, Connor performs “Angels We Have Heard on High," accompanied by the Hour of Power Choir, directed by Dr. Irene Messoloras, and the Hour of Power Orchestra, directed by Dr. Marc Riley. Then Terron performs, "What Child Is This?", also accompanied by the choir and orchestra. Then, the Hour of Power Choir, along with soloist Anna Crumley, blesses us with a stirring performance of “Breath of Heaven." The choir is accompanied by the orchestra and Dr. Philip Hoch on piano.
