This sermon is taken from the Magnificat and looks at what Mary told us about Gospel and the work of God.

For the third week of Advent, this talk centers on the theme of healing.

This sermon was preached on the third Sunday of Advent and takes its text from Isaiah 64:1-4.  "For since the world began, no ear has heard and no eye has seen a God like you, who works for those who wait for him."  The central premise of the sermon is that only those who honestly understand their lowly, sinful condition can really regard the Good News as such.

Isaiah 64 is the source for this sermon's text.  The sermon explores the relationship of exile to hope.

This week's sermon comes from Isaiah 2:1-5 which looks forward to the time when the kingdom of God will be preeminent, drawing all people to it.  It is a message of Good News which is welcome in a dark world.
