Title:
William H. Willimon - "Hoping for Christmas" (December 12, 1999)
Description:

  • Sermon start time: 00:13. Sermon end time: 25:37.

  • This sermon talks about Christian hope. Beginning with an argument that hope reflects one’s identity, the preacher contends that Jesus Christ is often subversive to people’s hope of a messiah, and that the true Christ is the Light of the world. (Abstract created by Duke Divinity School staff.)

  • Key quotation: “An open heart may be a lot better than one that is just so chock full of definitions and preconceptions and preconditions, that there’s no room left for any light.”
