Advent 1 - The Beauty of the Dark

12/01/20 • 15 min

We often experience darkness as a negative - the absence of light. But throughout Scripture, God meets people in the middle of the dark. And it is often there, in the beauty of the dark, that God's love and grace are revealed.

This Advent, we are invited to experience Hope in the Dark.

Texts this week: Genesis 1:1-5, Song of Songs 1:2-6, and Exodus 20:18-21

This passage gives us an invitation to dig deeper in our reading of all the parables, to read them with fresh eyes.
