Advent, A Place To Dwell - The Road Home

Emmaus Road Church | Fort Collins, Colorado

Sermon Scripture: Isaiah 40:1-11

And when God came in the Christ child born at Christmas, when God heard and answered our cries and dwelt among us, we were offered a gift which could never be taken from us. Was it surprising? Was it what we expected? Yes.

This second Sunday of Advent, we too are offered the gift of peace, but this is not a blissfully ignorant peace falsely assuming that everything in our world, in our nations, in our communities, or in our homes are just fine. Instead this gift of peace permeates all our being even as we long for justice in the world.

The peace of Christ be with you!
