Sermon 12-12-04 Luke 2:19
Finding the Christmas spirit
What is it…..feeling
Quiet, joy, peace on earth
The holy has touched the human
The divine has reached into my mortal life
Does it just happen to us?
So we can sit around and ponder?
We expect that it will just happen to us
I dropped an ornament and it broke
We got our picture taken with santa
We were in the church Christmas pageant
I got a ton of toys
We have to put our selves into a position to find it
I sat down by the tree, put on carols, and listened
Going chrismtas caroling with the youth group
San jose rescue mission
Making cookies to take to the neighbors
Cathy played in the traveling brass band
Once in Royal Davids City
I heard the bells on Christmas day…..
Flight 800 orphans…..cathy is crying
Scott….Dad, lets give them some of our money
Brinkman family fed a meal at restart
I rang the bell for salvation army
If you want something to ponder.
If you want to experience the spirit of Christmas….
Step out, go looking, go caring, go sharing….
And you will find that the message is still available today
Peace on earth good will to all
Once in Royal Davids city1. Once in royal David's city stood a lowly cattle shed, where a mother laid her baby in a manger for his bed; Mary, loving mother mild, Jesus Christ, her little child. 2. He came down to earth from heaven who is God and Lord of all, and his shelter was a stable, and his cradle was a stall. With the poor, the scorned, the lowly lived on earth our Savior holy. 3. Jesus is our childhood's pattern; day by day, like us he grew; he was little, weak, and helpless, tears and smiles like us he knew; and he feeleth for our sadness, and he shareth in our gladness. 4. And our eyes at last shall see him, through his own redeeming love; for that chlid so dear and gentle is our Lord in heaven above; and he leads his children on
to the place where he is gone.
