Born to Set Us Free is an anthem for Advent or Christmas. Suggested corresponding lectionary readings include Psalm 80: 1-7 & 17-19, Isaiah 7: 10-16, Matthew 1: 18-25, Luke 2: 1-20, and Romans 1: 1-7. One basic homiletical theme is the promise of Emmanuel, God's only Son, sent from heaven to bring peace on earth.
