"Belts in Plain Sight" – Ephesians 6:10-17, Isaiah 11:1-6

Sermon by the Rev. Ben Brannan from Sunday, December 12, 2021. "The season of Advent offers us a reminder that change is drawing near. The Messiah comes to usher in God’s great kingdom, as the powerful are pained with the plight of the poor, the mighty stand in solidarity with the meek. A kingdom where a lion and lamb can share a drink at the bar together, where the laws of the jungle are rewritten with the pen strokes of righteousness and equity. This vision is the hope of Advent, a hope we are called to participate in. And we, too, are called to wrap around our waist the belt of truth, a truth that reminds us to see one another as complex image-bearers of God, as a member of the body of Christ."
