A sermon preached at Central United Church, Windsor on December 4, 2011
Scripture Text: Isaiah 40:1-11, Mark 1:1-8
Mark begins his gospel with words from the prophet Isaiah. Isaiah hears a voice: “Prepare the way of the Lord.” The prophet announces that God is about to do something new. Their captivity is over. They are going home.
Folks in the United Church of Canada,
It is very laudable to desire and support peace.
No country in the world wants peace more that Israel, who has been forced into at least 6 wars (1947, 1956, 1967, 1973, 2006, 2009) in the last 60 odd years, with never-ending terrorism to fill the brief periods in between.
Israel will always be the first to compromise for peace.
