Sermons

We welcome the new year in a service of joy and renewal! It’s a time to leave behind the regrets and mistakes of the past year; dwell in scripture, music, and prayer; and reflect on a new year of faith.

Join us as we celebrate Christmas with King’s College Lessons & Carols service!

In winter’s deepest night, we welcome the light of the Christ child. Isaiah declares that the light of the long-promised king will illumine the world and bring endless peace and justice. Paul reminds us that the grace of God through Jesus Christ brings salvation to all people. The angels declare that Jesus’ birth is good and joyful news for everyone, including lowly shepherds. Filled with the light that shines in our lives, we go forth to share the light of Christ with the whole world.

Guest speaker Lara Sieja reads a devotional based around the scripture used in the Holden Evening Prayer service.

Today Isaiah prophesies that a young woman will bear a son and name him Emmanuel. The gospel is Matthew’s account of the annunciation and birth of the one named Emmanuel, God-with-us. During these final days of Advent we pray, “O come, O come, Emmanuel,” a beloved hymn based on the O Antiphons, ancient prayers appointed for the seven days preceding Christmas. On this final Sunday of Advent we prepare to celebrate the birth of the one born to save us from the power of sin and death.
