We're looking ahead to the Second Sunday in Advent! The Rev. James Gier, Senior Pastor of Ascension Lutheran Church in Fort Wayne, Indiana, joins Andy and Sarah to study the readings and themes for the Second Sunday in Advent. They discuss who the Messenger is in Malachi, how we prepare for the coming of One who is perfectly holy and righteous, practical ways we prepare to meet Him, and how the Means of Grace prepare us for this season of waiting and watching.
