God invites us to say “yes” to the Spirit, to be open to seeing ourselves beyond the constraints others place on us and to be open to forming new community with God and with God’s world.
A sermon for the Great Paschal Vigil preached by the Revd Andrew Woff
In the pain of discouragement, God keeps whispering to us: I am still with you, and the future has possibilities you have not dreamed of. So take courage, keep at it, hold on, don’t give up.
Advent is a time of deep paradox, a season that speaks to the reality of our world and calls us to be awake.
Rediscovering the mission of Jesus is one pathway through which we might re-enter the experience of dependence on God.
Our faith is about grace – that God comes to meet us in the truth of who we are. God is far less threatened by the darkness in our lives than we are!
