Reflection for Sunday 30th November 2025The First Sunday of AdventIsaiah 2.1–5, Romans 13.11–14, Matthew 24.36–44Advent begins with a call to wake up. Isaiah imagines nations streaming to God’s mountain, longing for peace, and turning weapons into tools. It is a vision of a world reshaped by God’s light.Paul echoes the urgency: salvation is nearer now than when we first believed. Advent is a spiritual wake-up call—not panic, but readiness.Jesus speaks of watchfulness. Not anxious waiting, but living faithfully so our daily life is already shaped by hope. Advent invites us to stay awake to God in the ordinary, trusting that Christ comes quietly into everyday moments. This week, perhaps ask: where is God calling me to step into the light? Blessings and prayers, Emma
