The Thoroughness of the Gospel – Third Sunday in Advent

The brokenness of the world touches every part of our life; but more than that, it digs down deep into the very center of who we are as humans. The Gospel, though, is radically healing all of this brokenness – both across the universe and in our hearts.

Readings and sermon were delivered by Pastor Aaron Mueller.
