December 13, 2020

The third Sermon was
Deck the Halls
Based on Scriptures
Isaiah 61:1-4, 8-11, 1 Thessalonians 5:16-24 and John 1:6-8, 19-28
After finding clutter or baggage and beginning to clean it up, what is the next step in preparation? Is it decorations? We’ve got the chance to make our space match our feelings of anticipation and celebration for the world-changing birth of Jesus. We don’t want to confuse the work we’ve been doing to prepare and clean with the idea of making our space or our hearts “sterile.” Sterile spaces are not inviting, they are not life giving. We want our space and ourselves to be welcoming and inviting. This helps set the stage for the arrival of Emmanuel, God with us, by making our hospitality to be breathtaking..
