In this episode of The Arrival, we focus on the theme of preparation. Scripture shows us that God prepared the world for the coming of Jesus; and today He calls us to prepare our hearts with the same intentionality. Drawing from Luke 19:41–44, we learn how a lack of spiritual preparation can cause people to miss the very moments when God visits, speaks, heals, or restores.

We explore how God stirs His people to make room for His presence; how an unprepared heart becomes unable to perceive His movement; and how wrong expectations can keep us from recognizing the way God chooses to arrive. This message leads us toward deeper humility, repentance, attentiveness, and surrender as we prepare ourselves for Christ’s work in our lives and our city.
