16 January • Who Should be Our King?

It is hard to stand out and be a sign of holiness in a world that values power and success. In this episode of A Word of Hope, Fr. Jordan DeGuire reflects on the history of Israel and their demand for a human king—a request that initially seemed like a rejection of God.

Join us from the Chapel of St. Catherine of Siena in Grand Rapids, Michigan, as we explore how God took a moment of human weakness and turned it into the ultimate plan for salvation. From the anointing of Saul and David to the birth of Jesus Christ, discover how God never settles for "less" for His people.

If you struggle with living differently or feeling like an outsider because of your faith, this message is for you. Learn how Christ, the true King, renews us to be a witness of His love to the world.
