??? Christmas ???

Message by Bob Crosthwaite, Pastor Emeritus Luke 1 & 2 How do you think you would respond to a Christmas sermon composed entirely of questions? If intriguing questions are raised in a familiar text… and answers are not forthcoming, does that leave you puzzled? If so, is the preacher not doing his job properly if you are left kind of mystified? What would you say if YOU were delivering a sermon for Christmas? Would you focus on the mangy stable? What about the Prince of Peace? Would you take a look at the wisemen? How does God speak to you? What is the star He wants you to follow? Gold, frankincense, and myrrh -- really? Do the shepherds offer us a better solution? Should it be all about Mary? Are there too few messages about Joseph? And what about the ultimate character: The Word made flesh? Has Jesus been born in you? Have you been born again? Which sermon would YOU have preached? Which sermon would you have preferred to hear? And consider this: How do you respond to a sermon composed entirely of questions???
