A sermon from Father Michael Novotny from Hebrews 4 / Psalm 95. Trading anxiety for gratefulness.
Who are you? What a profound question! The world wants to answer this question for us, but Scripture tells us another story. As we celebrate the Baptism of Our Lord, Fr. Michael Novotny reminds us that we who have been baptized into Christ have also been baptized into his death and resurrection. We are has everything to do with who Christ is and how we participate in his death and resurrection.
This Advent we begin at the end. Jesus told his disciples in Mark 13:24-37 to stay awake, for no one knows when the Son of Man will return to judge the living and the dead. As Christians, we are living between Christ’s first and second advents. This week’s message, Fr. Michael Novotny encourages us to be prepared and wait for his coming.
