Show Us the Light: An Advent Reflection on Salvation

On the fourth Sunday of Advent and the winter solstice, Rev. Amy Peterson reflects on the psalmic plea "Show us the light of your countenance, and we shall be saved." She explores how, like plants toward the sun and babies learning to smile, humanity turns toward Gods light in the midst of global darkness and suffering.

The sermon traces Jesus as the true light who reveals our true nature, holding together the ache of waiting for the second coming with the present reality of hope and healing. It calls listeners to pray for restoration, to recognize glimpses of divine light, and to persevere in faith amid uncertainty.

We’re glad you’re here.

This homily was offered in the presence of the congregation.
