Dec 17 Looking Forward

This Sunday we talk about the building anticipation we have as Christmas draws near. Our culture likes to harness human desires to sell us things, but God answers our deep human needs through Jesus. We see in the life of Mary and John the Baptizer that the early hints of God's movement have begun. What do we imagine the future looks like from here? 

Dec 10. How Shall We Prepare?

We anticipate the coming of Jesus, in our world and into our lives. As we seek Jesus and ask for the Presence of God to be more fully known, what posture should we adopt? How should we prepare our hearts and minds?
Return, Repent, Rededicate 
Isaiah 40:1-11
Mark 1:1-8

Dec 3 How Long Do We Wait?

This first Sunday of Advent we reflect on the timing of God. How long do we call out to God when life is hard? We take comfort from testimonies and scripture. Jesus will show up. It may get worse before it gets better. Stay awake, stay alert. Jesus is coming. Mark 13:24-37
Matthew 25:1-13
