Pastor of Formation & Mission Benjamin Kandt ends our year and Advent series, preaching from Psalm 27:8. He focuses on the importance of both desire and discipline in our journey of seeking God. He contrasts various cultural perspectives on desire, from the postmodern focus on the journey itself to Eastern philosophies that view desire as a source of suffering. Yet, the biblical perspective suggests that our desires point us toward God, highlighting a beautiful paradox: even when we find God, the search continues as we seek to deepen that relationship, much like nurturing love in a romantic partnership.
Pastor Ben also draws inspiration from Soren Kierkegaard's "The King and the Poor Maiden," to then reflect on the profound love and sacrifice embodied in the Jesus's incarnation. The journey to seek God's face is a pursuit initiated by God but is also an inherently relational endeavor. Through prayer and spiritual awakening, we are called to set our hearts free from lesser pursuits and focus on the transcendent beauty of Jesus' face. In the end, Pastor Ben encourages us to prioritize our spiritual journey, finding infinite satisfaction and vitality in this Christ-centered pursuit.
