Get Wright for Sunday

In this episode, we shall look at the confession of St. Simeon announcing to the world that the Lord’s Christ has come into the world to bring salvation to all! Why is it that St. Simeon speaks of a sword in the midst of the confession, and how do we see with our own eyes the Lord’s salvation today?  Join us as we wrestle with these questions and more!

"Who are you?" 

John the Baptist was asked this question by the Pharisees in our text for this week: John 1:6–8, 19–2. The Baptist's answer shows he knew that his role was not to point to himself, but to Christ. Join Pastor Wright and Vicar Leeper as they talk about what it really means to anticipate, and how we too are called to point to Christ, who comes to save us.

"Repent, for the Kingdom of God is near!" 

This is the message of a strange man in strange clothes in the desert: John the Baptist. He was sent to prepare the way for Jesus, to help people "get right" for the Messiah. How can his message of repentance help us to do the same? Join Pastor Wright and Vicar Leeper to hear more about "turning away" from our sins and "turning toward" our savior!

This week is the start of another Church Year! We begin with Advent, a time of anticipation, remembering the coming of Christ almost two thousand years ago, and the not-yet-here coming of Christ again. We start this season with an interesting text - the so-called triumphal entry of Jesus into Jerusalem, in the week of his crucifixion.  Listen in to Pastor Wright and Vicar Leeper as they layout the anticipation of the ultimate king. But who was this king to the people around Jerusalem? Who is that king to you?

The Judgement is promised, and Jesus is coming again, to usher in forever.  How can you "Get Wright" for the End? The questions wrestled within this episode are "have you done enough, can you do enough to earn, a place in heaven?"  This conversation points us to the comfort of Christ, even within judgment.  Join us, as we look at the lessons for this coming Sunday with fresh eyes and a new perspective!
