Sunday, December 14: The Third Sunday of Advent – Worship

In the gospel reading for today John is in prison wondering if Jesus is indeed the one to come.  He has his doubts.  His message was one of judgement while Jesus’ spends his time giving sight back to the blind, healing the lame, cleansing the lepers, opening up the ears of the deaf, raising the dead, and the good news is proclaimed to the poor.  Not exactly what John expected.

Preacher:  Pastor Paula Geister-Jones
