With Christmas right around the corner, I wanted to do some kind of Christmas message. However, I'm pretty non-traditional in some ways, so this isn't exactly a traditional Christmas message. It is a challenge to care for the poor, which we are often insulated from in our middle-class culture. I'm just as guilty of this as anyone, and I'm working to change some ways in which I think about the poor and needy.
When we start to focus on others more and ourselves less, I think we find God's blessings to be greater. And we can find real joy in doing things that may have eternal value, rather than the temporary happiness of the trappings of the season.
Sermon, December 13
