“A voice of one crying in the wilderness, ‘Prepare the way for the Lord, make his paths straight paths..." Luke 3:4 |
|
On this second Sunday of Advent, Pastor Chris' sermon, "A Crying Voice," Part 2, will be from Luke 3:1-6 where John, the Baptizer, receives the Word of God in the wilderness. As John was in the wilderness, sometimes we too find ourselves in a wilderness. A wilderness is a period of time when we feel spiritually lifeless. Sunday's sermon will explore what we need to do to survive and thrive in the wilderness periods of life. Hint: It has something to do with the revealed Word of God through Jesus. |
