First Sunday in Advent -- Christmas is about Safety -- Jeremiah 33:14-16 -- November 28, 2021

Thanks for listening today! We are blessed to start yet another year of Advent, which is a time of preparation before Christmas. It is a wonderful time to remember what Christmas is really all about, and focus on Christ and the salvation won for us by him on the cross. In today's sermon, Pastor Cherney talks about reaping what we sow. Normally, if you put a rose bush in the ground, you expect it to grow roses. But, truly, WE don't make the roses grow. We provide a good environment, but God makes the roses grow. Likewise, WE do not grow our own righteousness, but our righteousness is sown for us by God, and it grows because of Jesus. Have a blessed day! 14 “‘The days are coming,’ declares the Lord, ‘when I will fulfill the good promise I made to the people of Israel and Judah. 15 “‘In those days and at that time I will make a righteous Branch sprout from David’s line; he will do what is just and right in the land. 16 In those days Judah will be saved and Jerusalem will live in safety. This is the name by which it[a] will be called: The Lord Our Righteous Savior.’
