 Second Sunday in Advent, December 5th, 2021

It is always amazing to me how things can go in and out of style.  This is certainly true in the world of fashion but this could also apply to fads and gimmicks . .. popular gifts at Christmas time . . . . popular restaurants . . .  products at your local market.  The list could go on and on and every single one of us could name some item, for example, which was extremely popular way back when but is not really popular now or has disappeared completely, for that matter.  This is because the world is fickle.  We human beings are fickle.  We never seem to be satisfied in one way or another.  We get tired of this particular tiem and we decide to replace it with another item.  Something becomes old-fashioned or out-of-date and so we replace it with something newer or something up-to-date.  Again, it could be popular fashion trends,  . . . . popular stores or restaurants,  . . . . trendy fads or gimmicks, . . .  everything we can think of will eventually go out of style or usefulness, it seems.  

Nothing in this world of ours is lasting.  It either wears out or goes out of fashion.  It either breaks down or becomes obsolete.  Nothing in this world lasts forever.  This is why we need to look beyond this ol' world of ours if we want something that will last forever . . .  for an eternity.  We need to look upward with our gaze fixed on Heaven if we want something ever-lasting.  In the Twenty-First Chapter of St. Luke's Gospel, we hear Our Blessed Lord state:  " . . . . Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away"  Our Lord's love will never pass awy.  Our Lord's words will never pass away.  Our Lord's faitfulness and committment to us will never pass away.  Even though we are not always faithul to God, He is always faithful to us.  His love is stedfast.  This Advent season keep your eyes fixed upward.  Keep focusing on Jesus.  He will never leave us.  His words will never pass away.  He will always stay faithful to us.

St. Margaret of Scotland Anglican Church worships every Sunday morning at 10:30 AM at the Chapel at Marquette Manor, which is located at 8140 N. Township Line Road on the Northwest side of Indianapolis.

NOTE:  Keep in mind that we must enter in the main entrance of the lobby and sign in before we go to the chapel.  

Please Join us as we gather together as God's family to:  hear the Word of God; listen as God speaks to each one of us in our hearts; worship God in song and in word; listen to the King James Bible and the 1928 Book of Common Prayer; and, finally, receive Our Blessed Lord in Holy Communion so that we can be nourished for the journey we call life.  Take one hour out of your busy schedule to worship God, to honour God, to acknowledge the need for God in your life.
