Podcasts about second sunday in advent

Our parish theme for the whole year is “Be still and know that I am God.” But during the advent period it is to be still and be joyful with the Lord. In the current secular climate today, we have the craziness and the busyness of Christmas. We cannot stop all the shops doing what they need to do and to try to get us ramped up and amped up on all the purchasing. But we can take a rest from it and to be still with the Lord. (Read more…)Here is my homily from the Second Sunday of Advent. Please feel free to pass it on.

Taken from First English Lutheran Church's Soundcloud account.    While recovering from flooding on June 22nd, Christ the King will be worshipping with and at First English Lutheran Church in Spencer until we at Christ the King can return to our building. In the meantime, since First English uses the three-year lectionary, that is what we will use as well.    Rev.

Who is Jesus? That's the question we're asking this Advent, using Matthew 1 to guide us. Who is Jesus? It's the most important question that we can ever ask. Today as we ask the question Who is Jesus? We find the answer that Jesus Is The Son Of Abraham (Matthew 1:1) Who is Abraham's famous son? That would be Isaac. With Abraham and Isaac we see Jesus… the Son of Abraham and our Son of Sacrifice.

[Jesus said:] “There will be signs in sun and moon and stars, and on the earth distress of nations in perplexity because of the roaring of the sea and the waves, people fainting with fear and with foreboding of what is coming on the world. For the powers of the heavens will be shaken. And then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. Now when these things begin to take place, straighten up and raise your heads, because your redemption is drawing near.”And he told them a parable: “Look at the fig tree, and all the trees. As soon as they come out in leaf, you see for yourselves and know that the summer is already near. So also, when you see these things taking place, you know that the kingdom of God is near. Truly, I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all has taken place. Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away.“But watch yourselves lest your hearts be weighed down with dissipation and drunkenness and cares of this life, and that day come upon you suddenly like a trap. For it will come upon all who dwell on the face of the whole earth. But stay awake at all times, praying that you may have strength to escape all these things that are going to take place, and to stand before the Son of Man.”(English Standard Version)

December 8, 2024Today's Reading: Luke 3:1-14 (15-20)Daily Lectionary: Isaiah 24:14-25:12; Obadiah 1-21; 1 John 2:15-29“The voice of one crying in the wilderness: Prepare the way of the Lord, make his paths straight. (Luke 3:4b)In the Name + of Jesus. Amen. You've probably heard this before, but it won't hurt to hear it again: “If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us…” Simply put, if we can't admit we are sinners, we aren't being honest. Sadly, that describes a lot of people.It's easy to make excuses for sin as if the things you do or fail to do aren't really your fault. It's easy to compare yourself to someone really bad and say: I'm so much better than them! But God isn't fooled, and He isn't interested in arrogant, dishonest people who deny their sins. Rather, He wants genuine sinners who are sick of their sins and want to do better. These are the ones He can help, and indeed, He does more than help; He forgives them, saves them, and gives them life without end.In Jesus' day, there were many in Israel who denied that they were sinners. They thought that because they were children of Abraham, sin wasn't a problem. Some of the most religious people of all (the Pharisees) were so impressed with themselves that they could only see the sins of others. Jesus had a hard time with people like this, not because He was unwilling to bless them, but because they had no use for Him. And here is the simple truth: until you admit you are a sinner, you won't have much use for a savior from sin. In order to prepare people to receive the one and only savior from sin, God sent the forerunner to tell people the truth. He would tell people they needed to repent. John was the one who fulfilled Isaiah's prophecy about the voice of one crying in the wilderness. He prepared the way of the Lord by urging people to receive a Baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins. He called a lot of people sinners, and with colorful images, he reminded them of the consequences of sin: “The axe is already at the root of the trees and every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire!”John's goal was not just to scare people but to alert them to the reality that we all need a savior. John also pointed to the Savior Jesus, saying, “Behold the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!”John the Baptist reminds us that we won't really get Jesus until we see how badly we need Him. But once you are convinced of your need, you'll never want to be without Him. In the Name + of Jesus. Amen.On Jordan's bank the Baptist's cry Announces that the Lord is nigh; Awake and hearken, for he brings Glad tidings of the King of Kings! (LSB 344:1)-Rev.

What hope would we have without this holy sacrament of the Lord's Body and Blood? Our Lord came in His first Advent, born of Mary, before he departed gave us this holy meal. We have a taste of His presence with us as we await for His return. We can say that wherever and whenever we live, we are entering that continuity between the Last Supper in the Upper Room on Maundy Thursday and the Final Wedding Feast of the Lamb when Christ returns in Glory. Of these two feast, Christ promises to continue to give us a bite, so we can press on in this world which is filled with despair. 

Where is the God of justice? Fr. David Trautman invites us to find Him and share Him this season. If you like what you see, we hope you'll join us in person if you're in the area. Learn more about us: https://linktr.ee/servantsanglican https://www.servantsanglican.org/
