Central United Methodist Church (knoxville, Tn)

For the Second Sunday of Advent, we draw upon both the angel's visit to Mary to tell her she will have a child and her song of praise (Magnificat). Mary sings of a reversal of business as usual. Looking at life through the Kingdom of God. Through the lens of the lowly. This sermon challenges our obsession with power and privilege and reminds us that God came, not to Herod the Great, but a young, unwed, teenage girl.
