December 6, 2025

Our Lectionary readings for this Sunday, the Second Sunday of Advent,  are Isaiah 11:1-10; Psalm 72:1-7, 18-19; Romans 15:4-13; Matthew 3:1-12.

When I was young, I was a great fan of "The Hardy Boys" detective novels. I would sometimes get anxious when Frank and Joe would find themselves in a tough situation, so I would flip over to the end of the book to find assurance that everything would turn out okay. The Advent season is a time when we recall the reason for God sending his Son--we are in a tough situation to say the least. With the reminder that the 1st coming of Christ assures of the 2d coming of Christ, we have a glimpse of the end of the story and are assured that God is moving all of creation toward an end that will be more than okay. God's good rule is coming when heaven and earth will rejoice. Let every heart prepare him room. 

There will be a Session meeting after morning worship on December 6.
