Advent, A Place To Dwell - Joy to the World

Emmaus Road Church | Fort Collins, Colorado

Sermon Scripture: Isaiah 61:1-4,8-11, Luke 4:16-30

When we take up the call and join in the work of giving to others a garland instead of ashes, the oil of gladness instead of mourning, the mantle of praise instead of a faint spirit. When we work to build up the ancient ruins; to raise up the former devastations; to repair the ruined cities, the devastations of many generations, joy and rejoicing will be our reward.

But we must fight for our joy lest we be overwhelmed by the size of the task at hand.
