God's always "hooking us," pulling us back: back to the Word, back to the Meal, back to the Font...back to the community.

This blog is for the purpose of sharing around each Sunday's Bible readings & sermon at Shepherd of the Valley Lutheran Church.

Get Sunday's readings here. We follow the Narrative Lectionary.
(In the summer, we return to the Revised Common Lectionary' epistle or Second Reading here.)

So, what's been hooking you?

So, what's been hooking you?


Here you can...

December 15 -- Third Sunday of Advent

Listen to this sermon HERE.

"Before we just take and swallow whole the Christmas baby, that glorious nativity...before we belt out our Christmas carols, and bow our heads over our Christmas feasts, and open our Christmas gifts, bask in all that Christmas glory, we’ve got to--at least--ponder John the Baptist’s question:  Is this Jesus the one who is to come, or should we wait for another?  

"Sisters and brothers in Christ, yes he is: Jesus is the one...and so we wait."
