What Do You Hear?
John the Baptizer bellows in the wilderness, calling the people to preparation, and challenging the self-righteous to true repentance. As is always the case with prophetic words, how we hear them depends almost entirely on our perspective. Do we hear that we are being called to a liberated way of living, or do we only hear about what it is we stand to lose? (Hint: The Gospel is always Good News, but sometimes it sounds like bad news to those who are most our of alignment with God’s will for all creation…)
Join us for worship Sunday December 7. The livestream will be available at 10:30 or any time after. Read Matthew 3:1-12 and Isaiah 11:110 in preparation for Sunday’s sermon “What Do You Hear?”.
The bulletin can be downloaded from our December 4 or 7 QuickNews on the “News” page of our website.
