Drip. Drip. Drip.
Matt’s message on this third Sunday in Advent is rooted in Matthew 11.2-11. Barbara Brown Taylor writes, “The Messiah has decided to come for now—not all at once but steadily, drop by drop, for millennia.” How are we experiencing the steady drip of God’s mercy in our lives this Advent season?
Already/Not Yet
Matt’s message on this first Sunday in Advent is rooted in Matthew 24.36-44. While dominant expressions of Christianity would have followers of Jesus believe what we do in this world means nothing because it will all be wiped away as the faithful are taken into eternity upon Jesus’ return. The Gospel of Matthew invites us to practice an eschatological existence as we join with God in bringing healing in places of hurt.

Rebels with a Cause
