Session 3: O Come Desire of Nations: Preaching Advent Hope in a Warring World
(October 24, 2024 at 3 PM ET)
It's only October, but Advent I is coming! One of the themes of advent is desire or longing - we long for a better world and a better future. We long for peace. What are the desires and longings of our communities? In a time when the whole creation waits with eager anticipation for the coming of God, it is important to name both our despair and our hope, our longing, out loud. This session will explore preaching at the intersection of despair and hope - seeking resources to help us create sermons that truly address the needs of the world.
