Temporada 1
In the sermon for the First Sunday in the Season of Christmas, we will take a step back in John's Gospel, as we are reminded of Jesus' connection to creation. We believe that Jesus' birth brought hope to humanity, but John and the Apostle Paul remind us that our Lord's existence predates the laws that were given to Moses. We will explore the significance of the Word being present at the beginning of creation, and what it meant for humanity for the Word to become flesh in the person of Jesus Christ.

In the sermon from the Second Sunday of Advent, the Very Rev.

The sermon for the First Sunday of Advent featured in this episode highlights the eagerness that most of us feel at this time of the year. The Very Rev. Al Crumpton notes that the season of Advent is the time to ask ourselves why we are are eager, and whether our sense of anticipation lines up with God's intentions for us. When the world is eager to fast-forward to December twenty-fifth, the message of Advent is to slow down, wait, watch, and renew our awareness of God's presence.
