Description

John the Baptist refuses to let us slip quietly into Christmas. In this Advent sermon, Rev. Jordan Griesbeck unpacks John’s startling call to repentance and the deep hope behind it—that real change is possible because God Himself has come near. Drawing from Flannery O’Connor’s “large and startling figures,” Rev. Griesbeck shows how grace disrupts, awakens, and prepares us to cry out “Jesus!” when we finally reach the manger.

📖 Scripture: Matthew 3:1–12
