Shepherds Luke 2 12-3-00

Sermon 12-3-00 Luke 2

I never got to be a wiseman, always a shepherd
Even when mom was in charge
Not a bad thing
Wisemen journeys end
Shepherd journey begins at manger

Proud are humbled at manger
Humble are energized at manger

We like to think of our selves as common normal folks.
I’m not a leader; I’m just regular folks
I cant teach Sunday school, Im just regular folks

Story of shepherds…hear the story
Do regular folks still hear the message?
The story comes better from regular folks
In the story, who tells the story? The humble

Acts 9….Apostle Paul….
begun as proud, humbled by Christ,
becomes a common folk, tells story

Nancy Dahlberg tells a story of humility at christmas

We do not deserve the gift of Christmas…yet god gave
You know the joy
Common folks share the joy
This Christmas, buy the gifts, rush to shop, tell the story
Hug a child/forgive a transgressor, buy a gift, share the love
Humble yourself and give, share the joy, share the love.
