This Sunday I will be looking at Matthew 2:1-9 and the topic of my sermon is GOD DOES HIS OWN THING. Someone commented this morning (cynically I might add) that we should have two different seasons to celebrate Christmas. One to quench that insatiable lust for stuff and the other to purely honor the birth of our savior. Its hard to do both at the same time, isn't it? God did not try to fit Jesus into the materialistic sin sick muck of our world. What he did was so other than the world. What he did was upsetting to the world. It challenged the world and confronted those in the world and gave men and women a choice. People like Herod looked for ways to kill him, but then you had "kings from the east" who gave up everything worldly because they could not wait to bow down to him. Really, when it comes down to it, you can't have Jesus and all this. We have quiet a choice to make.
I sure look forward to worshipping with you this Sunday.
Pastor Mitch
