SERMON SHORT FOR DECEMBER 6th, 2020

Advent 2 – Change to Peace

Matthew 3:1-12, Isaiah 11:1-10

            This is the Sunday of the Candle of Peace and the Sunday of John the Baptist crying out in the wilderness: “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is near.” The word “repent” is taken from a Greek word that has a sense of changing your mind about something, especially with a spiritual implication.  

            Think of how elusive peace is – how far away the Kingdom of God seems at times. There is no peace in so many corners of our world and our lives. Perhaps, to find peace, we must change our minds, our hearts. Peace comes with repentance. Peace comes with changing our minds, our hearts, our souls and seeking God.

The kingdom is near!
