Peter Bender of The Concordia Catechetical Academy Concordia Catechetical AcademyThe post Looking Forward to Sunday Morning According to Luther's Catechisms: Second Sunday of Christmas – Pr. Peter Bender, 12/31/25 (3651) first appeared on Issues, Etc..
Join us for Episode 4215 of Day1 as Rev. Dr. Damon P. Williams, senior pastor of Providence Missionary Baptist Church in Atlanta and a leader at Georgia Tech, brings a challenging and timely message. In “Comfortable Space, Corrupt Spirits,” based on John 2:13–14, Dr. Williams explores Jesus cleansing the temple as a call to confront comfort, convenience, and consumer faith. Set in the season of the Second Sunday after Christmas and the Holy Name of Jesus, this sermon invites us into holy discomfort that leads to transformation. Tune in for this powerful message of conviction and renewal.
Jacob and Aaron dive into the readings for the Second Sunday after Christmas, which are Jeremiah 31:7-14, Ephesians 1:3-6,15-19a, Matthew 2:13-15,19-23, or Luke 2:41-52, or Matthew 2:1-12.
Common Table's November 23, 2025 sermon. Second Sunday of Advent - Jeremiah 29:1, 4-14 // Oh, The Places You'll Stay w/Drew WillsonO come, O come Emmanuelthat mourns in lonely exile here...On Christ the King Sunday (the final Sunday of the Christian year) we read the words of the prophet Jeremiah to God's people exiled in Babylon. Though they'd love to come home, God encourages them to stay! Together, we ponder the strength to stay in difficult places in light of that well-known promise:"For I know the plans I have in mind for you; plans for peace, not disaster, to give you a future filled with hope." -- Jeremiah 29:11

Can these bones live? Let's listen to recover a life-giving word for ourselves and our world.

Psalm 96:1-3 Second Sunday of Advent Sunday December 7, 2025 – By Bob Cote
In Matthew 11:2-11 John the Baptist is in prison and his expectations about the Mesiah are being challenged, so he asks Jesus if he is the one to come. The answer Jesus gives is as relevant for us today as it was for John the Baptist. Download the service Bulletin here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1ZFXgrCVDyKGBMI8ECqUQQNiCL16m30hi

John the Baptist and the Second Sunday of Advent, Year A 2025 Gospel Matthew 3:1-12 John the Baptist appeared, preaching in the desert of Judea and saying, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand!" It was of him that the prophet Isaiah had spoken when he said: A voice of one crying out in the desert, Prepare the way of the Lord, make straight his paths. John wore clothing made of camel's hair and had a leather belt around his waist. His food was locusts and wild honey. At that time Jerusalem, all Judea, and the whole region around the Jordan were going out to him and were being baptized by him in the Jordan River as they acknowledged their sins. When he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to his baptism, he said to them, "You brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the coming wrath? Produce good fruit as evidence of your repentance. And do not presume to say to yourselves, 'We have Abraham as our father.' For I tell you, God can raise up children to Abraham from these stones. Even now the ax lies at the root of the trees. Therefore every tree that does not bear good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire. I am baptizing you with water, for repentance, but the one who is coming after me is mightier than I. I am not worthy to carry his sandals. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire. His winnowing fan is in his hand. He will clear his threshing floor and gather his wheat into his barn, but the chaff he will burn with unquenchable fire."

Homily from the Second Sunday of Advent. We worry while we wait. Advent teaches us not just to wait, but to trust while we wait. When we surrender worry and remember who God is, waiting becomes a place of grace instead of frustration.

Read Online“I am baptizing you with water, for repentance, but the one who is coming after me is mightier than I. I am not worthy to carry his sandals. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire. His winnowing fan is in his hand. He will clear his threshing floor and gather his wheat into his barn, but the chaff he will burn with unquenchable fire.” Matthew 3:11–12This passage comes just before Jesus is baptized and begins His public ministry. John the Baptist had been ministering in the desert of Judea, preaching, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand!” Many came to him to be baptized with a baptism of repentance. But when John saw many scribes and Pharisees coming to him, he said, “You brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the coming wrath? Produce good fruit as evidence of your repentance.” The passage above is John's warning to them—and to us—about what will happen if we fail to repent.At that time, when wheat was harvested, it was left to dry. Then, a winnowing fan was used to blow the wheat and chaff into the air. The lighter chaff would blow away, while the grains of wheat would fall to the ground to be gathered, milled into flour, and used for baking. John uses this familiar image to depict what Jesus will do with the righteous and the wicked. The righteous are like the grains of wheat that will be gathered and brought to Heaven. The wicked are like the chaff that, once separated from the righteous, will burn in the unquenchable fire of hell.Though it is comforting to speak of the glories of Heaven and to anticipate being brought there by our Lord, it is necessary to also consider the reality of the unquenchable fires of hell. Pondering the reality of those unquenchable fires is something we should not neglect.In his spiritual classic, The Spiritual Exercises, Saint Ignatius of Loyola presents a format for a thirty-day directed silent retreat, considered by many to be the ideal retreat experience. During the first week of that retreat, the retreatant focuses primarily upon mortal sin and its consequences—the unquenchable fires of hell. Why would Saint Ignatius begin his retreat this way? Because he understood that the foundation of our growth in union with God is repentance, and repentance requires an honest and thorough examination of sin and its consequences.Reflect today on the unquenchable fires of hell, and allow yourself to foster a burning desire to flee from every sin that leads to that end. As we enter the second week of the penitential season of Advent, ponder this warning from Saint John the Baptist. Hear him speak those words directly to you. We must fear sin and avoid it, as much as we want to avoid the unquenchable fires of hell. Start with this foundational truth, so that having fostered deep repentance, you are ready to turn your heart and mind toward the glorious promise of Heaven. Jesus, our Just Judge, You hold the winnowing fan in Your sacred hand and separate the righteous from the sinner. Please grant me the grace to see my sin clearly, so that I may humbly acknowledge it and turn from it with all my might. May I build this foundation of repentance during Advent, so that Christmas becomes an even greater time of union with You. Jesus, I trust in You.Image via Adobe StockSource of content: catholic-daily-reflections.comCopyright © 2025 My Catholic Life! Inc. All rights reserved. Used with permission via RSS feed.

Bishop Robert Barron’s Sermons - Catholic Preaching and Homilies
Friends, our first reading for this Second Sunday of Advent, taken from Isaiah 11, describes the Messiah's arrival: He “shall sprout from the stump of Jesse,” and “the spirit of the LORD shall rest upon him.” The Messiah, we hear, will come bearing seven gifts of the Holy Spirit, gifts that come to full expression in him. The Advent season is a time of longing for these gifts—watching, waiting, and praying for them.
