The modern world does everything in its power to numb our spiritual senses and distract our souls from longing for the presence of Christ in our lives. Advent gives us a special opportunity to push back. For this First Sunday of Advent, Rev'd Jamie Franklin encourages listeners to heed the words of Christ in Matthew 24:37-44: "Watch, therefore, for you do not know on what day your Lord is coming." Thank you for supporting the sermon audio podcast. We hope you have enjoyed listening. As always our sister podcast Irreverend: Faith and Current Affairs can be found on all major podcast providers and on YouTube. The music on this podcast was composed and recorded by Jamie Franklin and is to be set to the words to "Just as I am without one plea" by Charlotte Elliot.
