     | 15,042 views

    From the examples of Herod and the Wise Men, we can learn about how we should respond to the message and meaning of Christmas.

    The gifts that the Magi brought to honor Jesus are often cited in any attempt to explain the tradition of giving gifts at Christmas. Too often, however, our focus at Christmas is more of the gifts we receive, rather than the Gift God gave. A family celebrated Christmas each year by singing “Happy ...read more

    An Epiphany sermon I preached on 1/7/2009 at the Salem Lutheran Home chapel, Elk Horn, Iowa.

    In some ways, you could say that Epiphany is the “last hurrah” of Christmas.

It’s a great scene, one that’s often ...read more
