Christmas Sunday

Merry Christmas everyone! It was a wonderful Christmas service we had today, with lots of special music and then some guy got up and talked for a while ;-) I did manage to get most all of the service recorded, with the exception of the beginning. I forgot to bring my laptop over until after the service started, if you can imagine that!

Personal Jesus

What does Christmas have to do with atheism? Well, not a lot, really ;-) But perhaps the better question is: Why would an atheist attack Christmas? What particular threat does the Christmas story offer? The birth of Jesus is the story of a personal Savior, sent into our world in real history. That's a pretty major statement, and one that we explored today in the sermon.

Justice for Christmas

Isaiah 9 has a very familiar passage that gets used at Christmas a lot. But what is it about?

What does justice have to do with Christmas? Well, quite a bit.
