Look Down, Look Up
This sermon focuses on the dual aspects of Advent: recognizing our own shortcomings (looking down) and embracing God’s love and grace (looking up). We self-examine by looking down. 1. What do we rely on? 2. What do we obey? We embrace God’s grace by looking up. 3. Relax into his grace. 4 Expect God to do immeasurably more than we could ask, think or imagine this Advent.
