Advent is a pensive season, a time of active reflection on our need for a savior. And that reflection on a needful world can, at times, lead to the false conclusion that the true life of faith is one of mild depression - sharing the pain of the world with only a distant hope of redemption. But that is not God's intent! There is much joy to be found even in a broken creation and in this episode we examine one poet's experience of it - a psalm of blessing and rejoicing in a God who is presently saving! The biblical passage referenced in this sermon is:  Psalm 103 (NRSV) Want to connect?  You can send e-mail here. Or find me on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
