Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Nov 28, 2020

| 4,072 views

Simeon hoped to see the messiah before he died and he did. His story teaches us something about why we hope and how to hope.

Townend isn’t merely saying that Jesus is A source of HOPE. He’s saying that Jesus is the ONLY source of hope! ...read more

This sermon was preached on Gaudete (Joy) Sunday (3rd sunday in Advent). I wasn’t feeling very joy-filled, though I felt called to preach on joy (and used that hesitancy as part of the sermon focus). It’s my best "grumpy sermon on joy" ever.

Almost got stuck in the snow last night. Had to park around the corner and traipse home in the deep snow with the wind whipping ...read more
