Waiting with Hope

In this sermon, launching the series "All Creation Waits: Rewilding Advent," we discover how Advent begins not in cozy certainty, but in holy chaos. When the world feels like it's falling apart, nature's winter wisdom - from chickadees mapping seeds of hope to fig trees pulsing with hidden life - teaches us a radical way forward. Instead of numbing our pain or turning away, we're invited to stay alert and present, trusting that God's renewal persists even in the dark.
