It's 5' x 9'

Title: Advent Truth

Title: Advent Truth


This is the pictoral version of my sermon a couple of weeks ago. It's about how during the season of Advent (just before Christmas), we are called to take upon ourselves the pain of what it is to be human, become the voice of those who suffer, cry out to God on their behalf, and live into and bear the hope of that which is to come.

On the left is the present and on the right is the future Kingdom of God. On the left, a watcher is on a stylized version of the Second Con tower wearing black (the color of pain to match the pain-colored city of Rockford in the pic) who has a firey head (the color of the Christ-head on the right) looking over Rockford and into the future.

The waters of baptism flow from the future and sweep through all with thier claiming power. Meanwhile, the Communion elements (bread and cup) bridge the now and future.

The big white thing in the middle is the moon, which relates to the scripture passage read for the sermon.

Hopefully, the snapshot is clear enough to see.
