    Although Luke’s account of the shepherds going to see baby Jesus is filled with familiar details, the thread that ties the whole thing together is what the shepherds were told about the child. We hear that connection three times in these verses.

An angel of the Lord had brought them “good news that will cause great joy for all the people.” And the angel told ...read more

    The sermon focus on the Kingdom of Heaven/God. Further, it reflects that we may sow the seed of love to accommodate the poor, the migrant, and we may mix the yeast of love to reach out to insignificant and needy people, building the Kingdom of Heaven/God wherever we are and whatever we do.
