Epiclesis

Already and Not Yet

On this first Sunday of Advent, Pastor Chris took a look at a passage in Isaiah. In the prophet's day, the people likely could not see their immediate future, much less the astonishing time in the far distance that Isaiah was describing. What could we learn from their situation? And one more thing: Did you ever think of longing as a "stretchy thread" between the already and not yet? Advent has a way of bending time, and if we rest in our longing, we can learn a lot about Ancient-Future faith during the season.
