Sermon Summary Text: John 2.1-11 Title: Stairway to Heaven

We have arrived at the 4th and last Sunday in Advent. When you have celebrated wildly, without inhibition? Advent is also a time of celebration. Somehow, lots of good church-attending people get the idea that moving your body in worship is sinful, or at least  a defective form of worship.

This morning we’ll think about living in “a time for renewal”. I said last Sunday that Advent is largely about ‘Waiting, Patience and Hope’ So is life. Neither is just about doing, unthinkingly. Nor are they about waiting, passively, Good waiting is a synonym for preparing. Waiting is an activity.
