“The young woman will conceive and bear a son”: a sign that is vague, nebulous, and longterm

A sermon on Isaiah 7:10–16 and Matthew 1:18–25, for the fourth Sunday in Advent, preached by the Rev. Elizabeth Raine at Dungog Uniting Church on 21 December 2025. The gospel of Luke so dominates the Christmas season that only occasionally are we afforded an opportunity to experience the birth of Christ from a perspective other than Luke's. So I am quite happy that here on the last Sunday of Advent, we are given a chance to hear the story from a different perspective, that of Joseph, the husband of Mary....

Antisemitism: yes, it’s about legislation—but more, it’s about our culture

It’s less than a week since the tragic mass shooting at Bondi Beach. In the days since then, we have seen very public displays of shock, grief, fear, anger, blame, rage, and other strong emotions. So many comments rip over into recrimination and dehumanisation. It’s been savage. Alongside all of this, there has also been a deep admiration for those who attempted to stop the shooting by intervening—at the cost of their lives, in one instance, and incurring significant wounds, in another case....

I preached this sermon, a reflection on the apocalyptic words of Jesus reported in Luke 21, at Dungog Uniting Church on 16 November 2025. Conflict. Aggression. Upheaval. Disaster. Destruction. Catastrophe. A cosmic conflagration, as there are “great earthquakes, famines and plagues … dreadful portents and great signs from heaven … on the earth distress among nations confused by the roaring of the sea and the waves”....

At this time of the year, every year, the Revised Common Lectionary offers us passages from the Gospels that are strikingly vivid and dramatic. Each year we end “the church’s year” with an excerpt from the long apocalyptic speech that Jesus delivered to his disciples, some time after they had arrived in the city of Jerusalem. And so, this coming Sunday we will read Luke 21:5–19....
