Week ONE: Threshold Advent Sermon Series

“Threshold” is a four-week, Advent sermon series based on Isaiah. Called the “fifth” gospel by some prominent early Christians, the book of Isaiah is a perennial favorite during the season of Advent. It’s poetic prophesies help us to understand and anticipate the Christ who comes to us. The inspiration for this series comes from a trip to Chaco Canyon that I took some years ago. This remote world heritage site in northwestern New Mexico is home to ruins of an ancient civilization that thrived over seven hundred years before European settlement on the continent.


week one: Approaching the Threshold

This sermon is based on Isaiah 11:1-9. I identify “Threshold Moments” as times of transition in life where our spirits are tested. Knowing that God is with us as we approach and enter thresholds we have hope.
