    Considering the appearance of the Greeks who ask Philip to "see Jesus," the sermon reflects on this as an Epiphany story, and upon Jesus as the light of the world.

    Words are interesting things. Sometimes all you have to do is look at a word and you can figure out within a few seconds what the word means, even if you’ve never seen the word before. “Christmas” is one of those words.

    It is dark and scary living in our sinful world. But Christ lights it by: 1. Chasing the darkness out of guilty consciences, and 2. Chasing the darkness from the problems sin causes.

I would have them use the classic line: “it was a dark and stormy night.” You see, darkness sets the tone for ...read more
