Presence
SCRIPTURE: Isaiah 12:2-6; Luke 3:7-18 (NRSVue)
On this third Sunday of Advent, joy is prevalent throughout our scriptures. Isaiah proclaims trust in God, which is a great reason to sing God’s praises. The story from Luke brings us the word of warning: be generous with those in need and be fair in our dealings with others. There is one coming who is greater than John and who has the power to draw us into the ways of God.

Promise
SCRIPTURE: Micah 5:2–5a; Luke 1:26-38 (39-45) (NRSVue)
The pace of Advent quickens as Mary hastens to visit her elderly cousin, Elizabeth. Upon their meeting, Elizabeth’s unborn child leaps with joy and the Holy Spirit fills Elizabeth’s spirit with a joyous proclamation of faith. We celebrate the arrival of the holy child—the one who reverses fortunes and re-creates the world with justice and peace.
