Sermons from December 2018
“Good News for Snakes Like Us” Luke 3:7-18
John is reminding us today that Christmas is not just for those inside of churches today. It is not just for those who sing the loudest to Christmas songs or wear the brightest Christmas sweaters or put out the most Christmas lights. It’s not just for the cheery people who seem to have everything going well. Christmas is for snakes. It is for those who have been left out. Those who others call scary. Those who think they have made too big of mistakes that no one can forgive.
“The Road to Shalom” Luke 3:1-6
Let’s join with God in flattening those mountains and lifting up those valleys and smoothing those paths, so that others can know peace, know joy, know love.
“Until the Day is Night and Night Becomes the Day” Jeremiah 33:14-21
Lift up those who are forgotten and ignored. Be present with those who are hurting. Speak for compassion and justice for all humanity. And show God’s love to all, especially those who don’t believe God can love them.
