The Prophetic Call to hope | Sermon for 07 December 2025

A warm welcome to my sermons (though expect me to slip into Catholic habits and call them homilies a lot). I don’t preach to teach. I invite you to walk with me so we can discover together. God is a mystery—a well that never dries, a fountain that gives life. As I try to live rooted in the example of Jesus Christ, may you bring yourself too, and be part of this conversation. Let’s share the wonder of exploring life together and find some gem each Sunday to enrich our lives, one sermon at a time.
