Advent reminds us that God rarely comes in the way that humanity expects. Rather than a powerful King coming to bring justice, a helpless baby arrives. Instead of a triumphant army claiming victory, an unwed mother sings of the upside down kingdom of God. What does God’s justice look like? How does it differ from what we expect?

Zephaniah lays out a vision of God’s coming restoration in Jesus Christ. What does it mean to be restored by God? Does restoration depend on our repentance? How does Zephaniah make sense of God’s restoration in a world that, like ours, is filled with brokenness? This week, we’ll talk about how taking a “smaller view” can help us be agents of God’s restoration and joy.

Jeremiah was called the ‘weeping prophet’. Yet through his tears, he declared a vision of hope for the future and for the coming Messiah. What does it mean to live with hope? Should we swallow our tears and press on? Deny the realities of the world and adopt a Polyanna-ish optimism? How can we make space for both hope and lament during the Advent season?

What does it mean to follow the symbols of the Communion meal back towards Jesus? How does the offering of bread and wine speak to our service in the wider world?
