Expecting Something Great This Advent

Dec 3, 2023    Rev. Christopher Antonetti

Sermon for the First Sunday in Advent - Ad Te Levavi

You think it’s kind of weird how everyone acts at the triumphal entry? Here we have Jesus coming in on a donkey, and everyone is partying, shouting, people throwing cloaks and branches on the ground.

What is the true Christian expectation and preparation for Christmas?

Prepare for Christmas by recognizing our need for a righteous King.

Jeremiah’s situation with Judah’s Kings – God has promised to David that his descendant, his branch, would always rule the throne of Israel. His descendants have generally failed, been good here and there but not that promised one.
