David continues our series on Advent, exploring the themes consumer culture, and the importance of focusing on the future rather than just the present. It discusses how society encourages a 'buy now' mentality, which can detract from our ability to think about the future. The speaker emphasizes the significance of the prophetic tradition in the Bible, which consistently points towards a hopeful future. The miraculous births of Zechariah and Mary are highlighted as examples of openness to God's future, and the conversation concludes with an invitation to trust in God's promises and to expect His work in our lives during the Advent season.
