Derrick Stoltzfus shares from Luke 2:22-40 in our fourth week of Advent.

John explores what Epiphany, Candlemas, and Mark offer as we begin a new year

He wonders what blows our mind as we listen to these stories?

In light of that

·                     what are the possibilities as we start this new year?

·                     what boundaries might we cross?

·                     how might we join the work of liberation?

In this message, Dr. David Jordan shares from Luke 2:22-40 about the remarkable story of Simeon and Anna, two marginalized, outcasted elderly people in the temple courts, who recognized what God was doing in Jesus and blessed it.

We can learn a lot about giving honor to what is to become by blessing what has been and what’s presently in front of us.
