Christmas is a time of waiting and spectacular fulfillment
The transformation of all nature
The "rod" is the instrument of God's wrath and his restoration.
Finally, the story turns to familiar Advent ground
The prophet Isaiah foretells the coming of the Savior
A surprising passage to end the week
A vision of Jesus emerges in the imagery of struggle
God's plan of salvation is revealed
How shame leads to blasphemy and blame
The road to the nativity begins in the garden
Getting ready for our special Advent season
Thanksgiving is an act of remembrance
