Download

Will Willimon, one of the most effective preachers in the English-speaking world, finds Jesus in “an apocalyptic mood” on the First Sunday of Advent. In a sermon called “Good News or Bad News” from Matthew 24:36-44, Willimon explores the urgency of apocalyptic language, and its appropriateness in our own time.
