Advent: Kingdom

Text: Matthew 4:12-17

I. Darkness

II. Danger
“I don’t have any phobias, but I do feel afraid…There are the usual racing thoughts: love, squandered potential, unlikely vanities, loss of income. Injustices committed against me; chores. Will I get cancer? Knowing that everyone worries they have cancer helps only a little bit. My ultimate anxiety is not that a certain fear will come true. Rather, I experience panic as mostly meta: the horror of being trapped, in this mind-set, for the rest of my life.” 

III. Dawn
