The Songs of Advent (Week 1) - a podcast by Arapaho UMC

Advent is a season of anticipation, of expectation. On this first Sunday of
Advent, we focus on the hymn "O Come, O Come, Emmanuel," a text from the
prophet Jeremiah.

The days are surely coming, says the LORD, when I will fulfill the promise
I made to the house of Israel and the house of Judah. Jeremiah 33:14

Prophets rose up only when the Israelites were in trouble, not in the days
where everything was going their way. Their role was corrective - to
address the present darkness with hope in God's covenants.

Even in our darkest days, when we wait with hope, we move from despair to
patience. Like Jeremiah, a prophetic heart is filled with unending hope.
