Hope Sunday, Advent 2025: Three Things To Trust (full sermon)

Send us Fan Mail

Based on Isaiah 2:1-5

1. Trust in the power of the vision of God’s shalom (of God’s love and care) to draw humanity to it. No need to coerce through violence, economic coercion or social coercion. Lifting the vision will draw humanity to it.

2. Trust in the vision enough to put in the work to live in it. We have to learn a new way to live in the world, to think and speak, to act and react, to hope and desire. It’s requires that we make the effort. Trust God enough to put in the work.

3. Trust that this vision will ultimately transform the world. We do not accept the world as it is. We trust that the world will one day be as God intended it.

Therefore, we make the commitment to walk in the light.
