SERMON SNAPSHOT: Sunday, December 11, 2022

Dear Friends in Christ –

This week we’ll be looking at John the Baptizer again, but rather than the desert wind blowing through his shaggy mane, he breathes the sour air of a prison cave/cell. Herod has tired of his scolding and fears the multitudes that have flocked to John and his message to change tack.

John sends his disciples to Jesus. “Are you the one?” they ask. “Go back and tell him what you see and hear what you hear,” Jesus says, but the list of blessings doesn’t include the release of prisoners. John must be thinking, ‘What about me?’

What is John to do? What are we to do when the answer that comes back doesn’t satisfy? Can we still know joy? (Spoiler: the answer is yes!)

Let’s engage this together - The Pageant! The Dessert Sale! God’s promises this Sunday.

See you in worship!
