Last Christmas

Have you noticed Christmas decorations seem to be going up earlier and earlier? First it was Thanksgiving... now Halloween is in danger of getting swallowed up by Kris Kringle! But with a world so full of war, plague and division, is it any wonder we want to throw up Christmas Cheer like a shield? Can you blame us for wanting a garland-strewn respite? But is it possible that, by closing ourselves off from the pain in the world, we miss the truly liberating power of Christmas?

Pop's Sermons popssermons Sermons delivered by Charles Fiquett Jr at various United Methodist Churches in Alabama. Dusty Frizzell podcast Dusty Frizzell My name is Dusty Frizzell. My wife Amy and I have two sons, Asher and Silas. I grew up in a small town in Missouri. Great childhood; rebellious adolescence. I openly mocked most things religious as a crutch. Until one normal Tuesday morning in 1993, 17-years old, buzzed on alcohol, I encountered things I didn't believe in and realized that I too was spiritually crippled. At three that morning, I gave my life to Jesus Christ. Graduated high school in 1994; got a bachelor's of biblical literature 5 years later and for the next 8 years I was a Jr. High/High School youth pastor at a Christian Church in South West Missouri. I've been the High School Pastor in the Los Angeles area at Shepherd of the Hills Church since June 2005. You'll find some random sermons here from camps, conferences & other places.
