December 1, 2024, Advent 1C: "A Calm Watchfulness"

With all the stress in our lives, we can be tempted to tune out the world, self-medicating with behaviors, substances, or food. However, this ultimately does not lead to greater health for ourselves or our communities. How does Jesus address his disciples in his own historical time? Why remain alert, as he says, for his return when it hasn’t happened in its fullness? Pastor David preaches “A Calm Watchfulness” based on Luke 21:25-36.
