This is the sermon for the first week of Advent. The text I am preaching from is Jeremiah 33:14-16, and I take some time in the beginning to set the historical context into which these words of prophecy were spoken. It is in the midst of terrible darkness that Jeremiah speaks some words of incredible hope. In fact, it is clear by the setting that Jeremiah’s only hope could have come from God. What do you hope in? We are to be a people of hope in a world that is ripe to hear about it. Is God the source of your hope. Along with Jeremiah 33, I also referenced Romans 8:24: “For in hope we were saved. Now hope that is seen is not hope. For who hopes for what is seen?”
