Podcast: The sermon by Rev. Jeanne Randall-Bodman presented on Sunday, December 15, 2019

“We can be ready to be surprised by one another, and surprised even as we hear familiar words one more time; ready to respond with action to Mary’s prophetic song of joy sung ahead of time; ready to hear our name called into the dance of the Spirit, to feel ourselves equipped to work for justice, to feed the hungry, to share our wealth with the poor, to let go of our commitment to economic and political systems that are unfair. We can be prepared to sing together our own joy in the vision and the promise of God to be with us and for us.”

“Today is the first Sunday of the church year, the first Sunday of the season of Advent… and according to tradition, this first Sunday in Advent is the Sunday of Hope. It seems apt in these times of division and anxiety, that we would be searching the scripture, our tradition, our community and our own hearts for sources of hope, for an infusion of the kind of inner strength that hope can give us in confusing times. And by hope, we’re not just looking for cheer… we don’t need blind, cockeyed optimism. We need a deep, down deep in the bones sense of security, and a vision. A vision that includes how the world actually is, and how the world may yet be...”

“Jesus calls us to a community where God’s generosity is mirrored by every member, where all are fed, and sustained and offered mercy. Everyone is welcomed… Jesus calls the church to more than acting differently or seeing the world differently, he calls us almost into a new existence in which God’s generosity benefits the downtrodden; the generosity creates a culture formed and sustained by the mercy of God.”
