December 19, 2021 Luke 1:39-55 (19 Dec. 2021) Advent 4: The Magnificat! Let our hearts rejoice!
Even in-utero John proclaims Jesus as the Holy One, the Messiah. The Magnificat- Mary's (or Elizabeth's) song is a song of revolution.
Hymn of the day, based off the Magnificat: ELW 723, Canticle of the Turning (one of my absolute favorites!). Church musician Robert Morehead (Emmanuel Lutheran Church) presents on and plays it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xE8oe9qM5Cc
And church musician Tim McNabb (Halifax Lutheran Church) plays it here: https://youtu.be/BBm597ApG3Q?list=RDMMBBm597ApG3Q

December 12, 2021 Luke 3:7-18/Advent 3 (12 Dec. 2021) Prepare for the Lord, aka the apocalypse
Advent 3, following Advent 2: John the Baptizer reminding us of covenant, practicing mercy and justice, generosity, and integrity.
The quote from Dr. Miguel A. De La Torre, professor at Iliff School of Theology:
"When soldiers ask John the Baptist what they must do, John responds that they must not use coercion or extortion against anyone. But an empire can only be sustained by its army carrying out violent actions. War, by its very definition, requires violence, and therefore John’s response is revolutionary, for if imperial armies cease doing violence, empires will cease to exist." (The Peoples' Bible (2008). study note, p. 1476.)

November 22, 2021 John 18:33-37 (21 Nov. 2021) Antifa Sunday and goodbye
This Sunday is known in the calendar as Christ the King Sunday. It is the last Sunday of the Church year, and was my final Sunday in this congregation which has its closing service Jan 9.
The tweet I quote:

@Sarcasticluther
Pope Pius XI established Christ the King Sunday in 1925 to counter what he regarded as the destructive forces of facism and the totalitarian claims of Nazi ideologies. I know I am 4 days early, but Happy Antifa Sunday, everyone.
