Episode Details

When the second rainbow flag went up on Main Street this year, I stopped walking my dog down that street. I know where that road leads. This Advent 1 sermon (“Wake Up, Woodbury! The Ark on Main Street”) is my plain-spoken plea to a town I have come to love: the same moral rot that brought the flood in Noah’s day is now flying proudly over two of our churches, and most of Woodbury is still asleep. Using Isaiah’s vision, Paul’s wake-up call in Romans 13, and Jesus’ chilling words in Matthew 24, I refuse to let us drift comfortably into another Christmas. I have to ask the one terrifying, loving question: when the Son of Man comes suddenly to separate the righteous from the wicked, which side of the ark door will you be on? Read or listen; you need to hear this.
