Isaiah 9:2-7 The birth of Jesus echoes the birth of an earlier king, a previous “mighty God, everlasting father.” Let that mess with your Christology!
Psalm 96 God’s plan of salvation is SO MUCH BIGGER than human salvation. The whole creation is wrapped up in God’s saving work. Do we live in such a way the the whole cosmos would see our life as a cause of celebration?
Titus 2:11-14 Danielle thinks you should preach this on Christmas. Be brave! Do it! There’s a deep call to transformation as well as God’s grace embodied in the person of Jesus.
Luke 2:1-20 There’s a danger to registration that we might have fresh appreciation for this year.
This week on LectioCast we mentioned some truly exceptional pieces of literature:

#LectioCast Advent 4: Waiting for a Surprise with Mihee Kim-Kort
Are we sure we know what we’re waiting for? God is faithful, and God is full of surprises.
- Isaiah 7:10-16 Your favorite Jesus prophecy that originally had nothing to do with Jesus! So, what does this mean about who Jesus is and what salvation means
- Matthew 1:18-25 An invitation to imagine what salvation looks like—and letting Matthew show us. What does “Immanuel” mean here? What does it mean that God is with us? What does a people look like who have been rescued from their sins?
- Romans 1:1-7 God is faithful. That’s the Advent hope. Christ has been born, and Christ has been enthroned.
- Psalm 80:1-7, 17-19 A final advent plea: are You coming or not?
Mihee Kim-Kort is a Presbyterian minister and spouse to another Presbyterian minister. She is a mother to three, and in her spare time reads, writes books, blogs and freelances for various publications. Sometimes, she tries something random like woodworking or brush lettering, but ends up on social media procrastinating from writing. She is passionate about the intersections between parenting, justice, and spirituality.

Christmas Proper 2: Christmas Continues, with Danielle Shroyer
An annual reminder that God has chosen to be in relationship with us before we could do anything in response. In the person of Jesus we are given the incarnate presence of God’s deepest blessing with us. And to that blessing we said no. And yet God continues to call us into the relationship God has established.
Isaiah 62:6-12 God draws us into the place of blessing, where God has come before us. And we have to read it from below.
Psalm 97 God is king. God will judge. Ready to celebrate? Is this good news?
Titus 3:4-7 Danielle wants you to preach Titus. Again! And Jennifer Knapp makes a surprise guest appearance. Salvation is all about God’s goodness.
Luke 2:1-20 Returning to where we were last time... There’s a danger to registration that we might have fresh appreciation for this year.
