This sermon is from the Third Sunday of Advent, when we focus on the theme of joy. Two scripture readings help light the way. They are Isaiah 35:1-10 and Matthew 11:2-11. The first reading speaks of new life springing forth in the desert. The second finds the disciples of John the Baptist questioning the legitimacy of Jesus’ ministry. Again, it is a testimony of new life spring forth from desperate places where the blind receive their sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the poor have good news brought to them. This is the good news of joy we celebrate this Sunday of Advent. God is able and ready to rescue and redeem that which is lost. Additionally, we will enjoy special music with Jane Howell on the harp and Kara Kilpatrick on the hammered dulcimer. Don’t miss another fantastic Sunday of worship.
