Epiclesis

Snort and Snicker

Isaiah 35 comes along right in the middle of a lot of destruction and doom. Is it a word spoken out of season, as one commentator has said, or just maybe a word spoken right in the nick of time? Speaking a word of joy in the middle of a sometimes gloomy world makes about as much sense as a cow snorting and snickering in gleeful anticipation of spring, even while winter's snow is still on the ground. Join Pastor Chris on this Gaudete Sunday of Advent, the Sunday of joy, as he takes a look at Isaiah 35.
