This week in our short Advent sermon series, we think together about a more popular, but also solemn Christmas song called “It Came Upon A Midnight Clear”. We use imagery from texts normally read during Lent and Easter: the story of Jesus raising Lazarus and the prophet Ezekiel’s vision of God bringing an entire valley of dry bones back to life. How do such images connect to this season of Advent and Christmas? How do they connect to what we light our Advent candles for this week: the theme of PEACE? How does God’s coming into our world somehow answer our weariness and longing? We will explore these things together, and hope you will join us!
