Oddly, I had a funeral yesterday and thought I exhausted my homiletical muscles for the weekend. I had little to none driving to church this morning. I informed the Holy Spirit that I was going to need help this morning in the pulpit. BOOM! Delivered! Thanks be to God. Try to pick up how many events in the sermon are events that had happened this morning. <p></p><p><a href="https://soundcloud.com/user-947067404/221204-advent-2">Listen on Soundcloud</a><br /></p><p> </p><p><br /></p><p>IMAGE CREDIT: <i>Majestic Milky Way,
