READ THE SERMON

December 4, 2022 – 2nd Sunday of Advent
Rev. Denise Clark-Jones

“TBA”

Our Scripture readings for today prophesy the coming of a new king. anointed by God. It is a message of hope and peace. Isaiah promises the people who had endured the devastating consequences of leaders who strayed from God’s way, that there is hope for a future, righteous king. This king will come from the house of David. He will rule over a peaceable Kingdom which will end divisions. Children, the hope of every generation, will not come to harm. The psalmist prays that a new king will rule with justice, especially for the poor. Paul assures the Gentiles they will be grafted onto God’s covenant people through Christ. In Matthew’s gospel, John the Baptist calls the people to repentance, which is necessary as preparation for God’s kingdom on earth.

PRAYER

“What goes through your mind as you sit in the sanctuary and look around?

As I sit in my pew and look up at the cross with the wonderful light illuminating it, I am reminded of why I am at Westminster on this particular day. The cross reminds me that Christ died for me and, in a sense, I am to do the same in my daily life. The brightness of the cross illustrates for me the brightness of living my life in the way of Christ.”
