    Christmas marks the entry of the Son of God into human affairs. He descended into the mess and the hurt of all that makes us human. Christmas tells us that God is not a neutral observer to our pain and problems.

    It’s Christmas Eve and we are grateful you are with us tonight to celebrate. I am grateful for our string quartet leading us tonight. Where would we be without the music of Christmas? Christmas is the biggest holiday in American culture. The average American is expected to spend more than $1,000 ...read more
