This is the new sermon upload for last Sunday.**
One of the enduring images of Christmas is the star, shining in the dark night--it is a symbol of hope. We all enjoy, when we put the last touches on our Christmas tree, to shut off the lights in the room and admire the glow of the lights on the tree. We wait until dark to turn on the Christmas lights adorning our house. Why? Because we neeed the darkness to appreciate the light.
The Christmas gifts we appreciate most are the gifts we are desperate to receive--especially when those gifts exceed expectations. So for us to gain a true appreciation this Christmas of the gift of Jesus (the "light"), we must first come to grips with the darkness of the world into which Jesus was born.
**We had a couple of sound issues with this recording. First of all, due to my own silly error, the first part of the sermon was not recorded (missing maybe 2 minutes). Second, there was some volume issues that I had to do some editing to resolve, so the background noise is worse at times.
