11-30-25 “Far From Home” by Pastor Glen Schlecht

Using the prophet Isaiah and the pending exiles of God’s people, the messages the Lord provides are messages that revolve around “home.” This week, the first of our Advent series, we recognize how, at Christmas, God leaves his home to enter our exile so that, by grace through faith, we might be brought home to him—a gift we could never earn but freely receive in Christ. We’ll consider the many times and the many ways that we can find ourselves far from home and then consider the comfort our Lord brings that we are not alone.

Old Testament: Isaiah 11:1-10 
Epistle: Romans 13:11-14 
Gospel: Matthew 24:36-44 
Sermon Title: “Far From Home”
