SERMON SNAPSHOT

Dear Friends in Christ –

“Now the birth of Jesus the Messiah took place in this way:”

Imagine this – one day you’re a respected fellow in the community – a tradesman, a carpenter, you come from a good family, a royal line! Life is sweet… and quiet. You’re looking forward to a new life, a new life with the young woman to whom you are betrothed. Next step is marriage. But why are people whispering? You haven’t lived together. You’ve never been intimate. She’s pregnant? She says it’s the Holy Spirit – the Holy Spirit of God?

Come worship this Sunday, this 4th Sunday of Advent.

We’ll sing carols. The trumpet will play. We’ll enter into the blessed mess of the incarnation and be blessed.

In anticipation -
