Sermons from December 2020
This week we learn about how to give and receive love. We learn how to need people and how to be needed by people and how this need calls us to discipleship. Our mutuality is part of our sanctification.
In this first week of Advent we remember how Christ has come and delivered us and how we continue to wait for Christ to come again. We continue to pray for the coming of the Lord.
This week we learn about how to pray for God to overturn this world. We learn how we need to turn away from the kingdoms and systems of this world and prepare for the coming of the Lord. The coming of the Lord will mean the end of the current age, kingdoms, and systems, so…
This week we learn about the Kingdom of God and how it differs from the kingdoms of this world. We learn about how the Good Shepherd will come and bring justice. We also learn how the Gospel isn’t for just individuals, but it is an invitation to join something larger than any individual.
We learn from this psalm about how God is both above us and in control and with us, suffering. We learn about a God who is enthroned in the heavens and can feel distant and the God who became a man to dwell with us.
This week we learn that we aren’t meant to try and predict the future, but be constantly ready for Jesus’ coming. We look to the parable of the ten virgins to see how we ought to have a continual flow of oil for our lamps.
This week we looks to the psalms to train us to rejoice and give thanks. We learn that celebration and joy takes practice just as much as praise or lament.
