    “How should I approach God in worship? How should I prepare? What should I come expecting?” The writer of Hebrews in Hebrews 10: 19-25 opens the curtain and helps us see how God sees worship. He shows us that worship is more than we think.

    Probably the most preparation I have ever made for one worship service was when Jan and I started a church in Northern Michigan in a small town called “Charlevoix.” I was fresh out of seminary, 25 years old and excited about launching the new church.

    Christmas is often a time when people struggle feeling that they don't have enough, or can't provide enough. It often steals away the joy of Christmas. Mary could have felt that she did not have enough; yet her song proves-- Jesus was enough.
