    I have adapted a recent J. John’s sermon, using Scripture to compare Herod and our own sinful tendencies with the Dickens’ character Ebenezer Scrooge.

    The Scrooge in All of Us Matthew 2:13-18 Christmas is one of those times that almost demands that we be creative with the familiar- the story of Bethlehem, and the baby Jesus in a manger.

    There are many excuses we can offer for not accepting the invitation to come to the banquet which God has prepared, but none of our excuses are valid because Jesus deals with them all.

    The water pot was expensive. She forgot her errand. Why? As she stood there looking into the eyes of Jesus and hearing His voice, she began to feel a Presence of God she’d never felt before. Many people left things behind when they met Jesus. Have you?
