SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 28, 2021 THE HOPE OF ADVENT "You Matter. You Are Not Alone." Luke 1:5-17 | Rev. Jayne Davis

Jesus came as light into the darkness. The hope of incarnation. God saying to a weary world, “You Matter. You are not alone." Is that a word you need to hear today? Is there darkness in your life that feels overwhelming? You matter. You are not alone.  We live in a weary world that needs that hope. Do our lives offer light to those who sit in darkness? Do they know that they matter to God and that they are not alone… because of us?

PRAY TOGETHER We seek the mighty God in the most unlikely places as a child in a stable, and in an empty tomb. May God hear these prayers, which come from the unlikely corners of our lives. Give us ears to hear, O God, and eyes to watch, that we may know your presence in our midst during this holy season of joy as we anticipate the coming of Jesus Christ. Amen.

Luke 5:11-17 Then an angel of the Lord appeared to him, standing at the right side of the altar of incense. When Zechariah saw him, he was startled and was gripped with fear. But the angel said to him: “Do not be afraid, Zechariah; your prayer has been heard. Your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you are to call him John. He will be a joy and delight to you, and many will rejoice because of his birth, for he will be great in the sight of the Lord. He is never to take wine or other fermented drink, and he will be filled with the Holy Spirit even before he is born. He will bring back many of the people of Israel to the Lord their God. And he will go on before the Lord, in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn the hearts of the parents to their children and the disobedient to the wisdom of the righteous—to make ready a people prepared for the Lord.”
