from Church of the Open Door Sermon Archives · host Worship
Oh, give ear, Shepherd of Israel! Stir up Your power and come to save us! Oh, that You would rend the heavens and come down, that the mountains might quake at Your presence. (Psalm 80; Isaiah 64) Advent starts this Sunday, the beginning of the traditional Church year. But as David shared last Sunday, this isn’t the beginning of the Story – we’re entering in the middle, where the human race is at the end of its rope; and the cry that rises from the nation of Israel is, “O God, come quickly!! Do something BIG!! How long are You going to wait?!” God’s Answer, as David will lay out this Sunday, doesn’t seem very big. It looks like a 13-year-old girl who says yes. It looks like a baby. No obvious rending or quaking here! The texts for Sunday are the cries of Israel in Psalm 80:1-7,17-19 and Isaiah 64:1-9.
