The Second Sunday in Advent, Mark 1:1-8
Each year during Advent, John the Baptist shows up, like some cranky uncle from out of town trying spoil the holidays. And he means business. His message is stern. Clean up your act! Get yourselves baptized, and get ready, because God is about to do something big.
We are beginning another season of Advent. This is my 10th Season of Advent as pastor of Douglas UCC. But those of you who have been coming to church all of those years, you know that I'm usually not here on the first Sunday of Advent, because typically, that's when Gregg and I would take our vacation. We were always gone during the first week of Advent. And you may remember that each year, we would always go on a cruise.
