Lea Matthews: "Tell Me More" (Homily for December 1, 2024)

Friends,Very few things grab our attention as quickly as the simple phrase, "Once upon a time."  Storytime is the best.  Kids and adults both love the cozy, cuddle up time over a picture book.  And there is nothing as sweet or tender as a heart-to-heart between loved ones, when somebody takes a tiny leap of faith to share with another a bit of their life's story.  This Advent, we'll share the gift of stories with one another.  We'll practice the sacred work of listening, and we'll live out the charge "go tell it!" As the old song...."I love to tell the story of unseen things above,of Jesus and his glory, of Jesus and his love.I love to tell the story because I know it's true;it satisfies my longings as nothing else can do.I love to tell the story; 'twill be my theme in gloryto tell the old, old story, of Jesus and his love."Let's start the season of storytelling together. I can't wait to hear yours!Pastor Lea
