Questions to Ponder:

  • Advent 3-Sunday, December 13
    • How in the world are we to preach a text of rebuilding to those still in Exile?
    • What does it look like to provide for those who mourn?
    • What does it mean to be broken-hearted?
    • What does it mean to "bind up the brokenhearted"?
    • What’s the image of God present in these texts? (v. 11)
    • Visuals:
      • depict the healing of the broken-hearted in Isaiah
      • a road with ending not in sight
  • Advent 2-Sunday, December 6
    • What does or what could it look like to offer this opportunity as a profession of lament that leads to hope. Whether we do this at the beginning of worship, in the prayers of the people, or maybe how you preach on this second Sunday of Advent?
    • How are people listening to God speaking into their lives? Speaking something into existence before it did not exist?
    • Who are the heralds for you? What is the message of good news you need to hear and reclaim your voice?
