“Not Last Hope, But Hope in the Last”
Sermon given by Pastor Robb on November 30, 2025.
Starts off the Advent sermon series for this year which also engages with classic Advent hymns and carols.
Covers Isaiah 53:1-6 & 11-12 and Mark 10:17-31.
In general, we don’t normally tend to put our hopes and expectations on things without some level of impressiveness or dominance as proof concept. Yet God’s chosen arrival was vulnerable and amongst conquered people, and seems to care about a whole different way of defining power and what is important. It is encouraging when we feel like the least to be seen and have hope for something more, but can we also hope that our salvation comes the least and the last (at least as the world defines things)?
