The passage for the First Sunday of Advent in Year A is Matt 24.36–43, and is the rather notorious passage about people being 'left behind'.
But the text actually says the opposite to what most people read! James and Ian explore the text, discuss the issues, and reflect on how we might preach on this well and wisely.
