Hope Presbyterian Church In Winston-salem Sermons

Series: Advent 2020Scripture: Isaiah 61:1-11 Broken bottles, broken plates Broken switches, broken gates Broken dishes, broken parts Streets are filled with broken hearts Broken words never meant to be spoken Everything is broken Bob Dylan, “Everything is Broken” A prison cell, in which one waits, hopes, does various unessential things, and is completely dependent on the fact that the door of freedom has to be opened from the outside, is not a bad picture of Advent. Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Letters and Papers from Prison When we read in the Old Testament that God is just and righteous …. it is much more like a verb than a noun, because it refers to the power of God to make right what has been wrong. That in itself sounds inoffensive enough, but the radical message underlying it, and the one we resist, is that God does this right-making in spite of our resistance.  Fleming Rutledge, The CrucifixionThe post When the Wrong Seems Oft So Strong first appeared on Hope Church PCA.
