About this sermon
In a culture driven by division, either/or thinking, and fragmentation, this sacred theme invites us into the holy tension of"&." The ampersand becomes a theological anchor-reminding us that God is not confined to one side or the other, but moves in the middle, holding all things together. From August through Advent, we journey through four interwoven series exploring how God meets us in contradiction, complexity, and connection. Whether we're carrying both joy & sorrow, faith & fear, or hope & uncertainty-God holds it all. Waiting is hard enough on vacation. It is something else entirely when you are waiting in exile seasons of your life. The first Sunday of Advent, we are naming the emotional weight of waiting in less than ideal circumstances and rediscovering what Scripture calls qavah: the kind of waiting that stretches, binds us to God’s strength, and becomes the womb of transformation.
