So you are no longer a slave, but a son; and since you are a son, you are also an heir through God.7

Summary:
Pastor Joy Matos’s Advent sermon, “God’s Appointed Time,” explains the significance of Jesus’ birth. The sermon uses the biblical account of God’s promises to Abraham and the giving of the Law through Moses to illustrate God’s plan for salvation. Matos highlights that the delay between the promise and fulfillment was part of God’s plan to show humanity’s inability to earn salvation on its own. Jesus’ arrival, therefore, is presented as the culmination of God’s long-term plan, offering hope and a relationship with God. The sermon concludes by emphasizing the ongoing nature of this relationship and the anticipation of Jesus’ second coming.
