Name: Streams in the Desert by Third Church, RVA
Duration: 17 min 26 s
Description: As we draw closer to Christmas, we begin to reflect on the mysteries of the Incarnation, even as we continue to dwell in the darkness of Advent. This Sunday, we'll hold the tension of hope that we remember in Advent, as we claim the promise of renewal even as we look around and see very few signs of its coming.

This Sunday we'll look at the final chapter of the book, the moving story of Moses' death.

The End and the Beginning

This Sunday we begin the Christian year with the first Sunday of Advent! I'm excited to begin this season of waiting together.

Advent Begins in the Dark

This Sunday, we step into the wilderness with John and allow his voice to awaken us, so that we may be ready to receive Christ, the Judge who brings peace.

The Judge Who Brings Peace

As we draw closer to Christmas, we begin to reflect on the mysteries of the Incarnation, even as we continue to dwell in the darkness of Advent. This Sunday, we'll hold the tension of hope that we remember in Advent, as we claim the promise of renewal even as we look around and see very few signs of its coming.

Streams in the Desert

This Sunday, we'll consider one of those prophecies from Isaiah and how Matthew sees it being fulfilled in the life of Joseph and Mary.

Courage to Wait

This weekend, we will join together to proclaim the good news of Christmas alongside our brothers and sisters. Ed Satterfield will be preaching about Jesus as Suffering Savior.

A Suffering Savior

This week we are starting a new preaching series that will carry us through winter and spring. We will follow the life of Jesus in two parts, shaped by the rhythm of the liturgical calendar. The series is titled “Revealed & Given,” reflecting the dual movements of Epiphany and Lent — seasons that together draw us more deeply into the mystery of Christ.  This Sunday we'll be in Matthew 3:13-17 where Jesus is Revealed as the Beloved Son. In place of preparation notes this week, I encourage you to spend time meditating on those verses ahead of Sunday's service.

Revealed as the Beloved Son

Third Church RVA is a Presbyterian church pastored by Corey Widmer in Richmond, Virginia. We believe we are called together for the renewal of all things through Jesus Christ.
