Shortcut to Sermon

We gather this evening in the darkness of winter to proclaim the coming of God’s Light. The prophet Isaiah announces that the people who walked in darkness have seen a great light (Isaiah 9:2). In the familiar account of Jesus Christ’s birth, the evening sky is bright with the angelic host singing, “Glory to God in the highest!” Amid the worry and stress of our world, we proclaim that the Prince of Peace is born among us. God comes to us in human flesh as a baby in a manger and comes again every time God’s love is proclaimed in Jesus Christ. May we be bearers of divine light to all the world!
