SERMON SNAPSHOT: Sunday, December 17, 2023

Dear Friends in Christ –

Here are three descriptions of the one for whom we yearn:

Beautiful Outlaw: “A dangerous book about a scandalous Savior – He was accused of nearly everything – breaking the law, keeping bad company, heavy drinking, and being the devil himself. He was so compelling and dangerous they had to kill him.” – John Eldredge.

Simply Good News: “No matter what your worldview, your beliefs, or your culture, you will find Jesus haunting, disturbing, and attractive.” – NT Wright

John 1:26-27: “Among you stands one whom you do not know, the one who is coming after me; I am not worthy to untie the thong of his sandal." – John, the Baptizer

All three statements are descriptive. All three statements
testify to the nature of the one whom we anticipate and celebrate. We’ve heard these reports before, but for these days there is special resonance, an urgency. It isn’t fake. It isn’t alternative. It’s real and it's essential.

John the Baptizer says It ain’t me, but… here’s what I saw.”
            We say, “Come Lord Jesus, Come”

Well, Sunday’s comin’, and we will light the candle of joy. So stop by, tune in,
testify! See you in worship!
