Episode 377
On this Thanksgiving Day, we invite you to join Matt Helms for a time of centering, reflecting, and giving thanks as we stand on the cusp of an entirely new season in our church calendar known as Advent.
As we continue along our Bible in 100 Passages journey, our scripture passages this time are perhaps discordant with the celebrations of Thanksgiving. However, one of the remarkable things about the prophets, even in the early days of the Exile, was that they refused to lose their faith in God’s future.
The dichotomy between mourning and expectation, loss and new vision is a perfect way to enter into the season of Advent this upcoming Sunday, beginning a new liturgical year with an acknowledgement that our world is not yet the way we know God would have it be, and yet remaining ever hopeful for the day when God’s promises are known in full.
