Season 7 Episode 1
Something’s Got to Change
“Oh, that you would rend the heavens and come down, that the mountains would tremble before you!” - Isaiah 64:1
Many Christian traditions around the world take four weeks every year to remember and celebrate a season called Advent. The scriptures associated with Advent are broken down into three four week groups and rotated through every three years. Over the next 12 weeks, we will explore all three groups.
Advent begins with a sense that something has got to change. When we look at the world, when we look at the individual nations, when we look at our communities, when we look at our families, when we look at ourselves, we recognize that we are a long, long way from where ought to be.
The literal components of the word advent mean “come to”. We recognize our individual and collective need for the presence of God to come to us and set right what is wrong. Advent is about watching, waiting, and working for a better world. We trust that world will come.
