Sermon from Advent I, Year C

Friends,

As I mentioned below, I was allowed to preach twice this past weekend. Here is the second sermon of the two, for Advent I.

Here is the Collect:

Almighty God, give us grace to cast away the works of darkness, and put on the armor of light, now in the time of this mortal life in which your Son Jesus Christ came to visit us in great humility; that in the last day, when he shall come again in his glorious majesty to judge both the living and the dead, we may rise to the life immortal; through him who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.

Here are the readings:

Jeremiah 33:14-16
Psalm 25:1-9
1 Thessalonians 3:9-13
Luke 21:25-36

Here is the Gospel reading in audio format.

Here is the sermon.

Enjoy! I just love the image of my sermon sitting next to Styx or some other dirty-little-secret band on someone's iPod. I am not sure if this actually happens, but I do love the image.

Yours in Christ,
Bob
