#1114: First Sunday of Advent – November 29, 2026
Sermon Brainwave Podcast • Post date: November 15, 2026
Planning your Mark 13 sermon for the first Sunday of Advent, Year B? Matt Skinner, Karoline Lewis, and Cody Sanders explore Jesus’ call to keep awake in Mark 13:24-37. They wrestle with apocalyptic hope, numbness to the world’s horrors, and what it means to stay alert today. The hosts also dig into Isaiah 64’s cry for God to tear open the heavens. They explore Psalm 80’s prayer for restoration and Paul’s words of partnership in 1 Corinthians 1:3-9. Along the way, they reflect on memory, hope, and the difference between faithful remembrance and nostalgia.
