A simple Christmas Day sermon around the theme of humility. A little shorter than normal and I tried to be jargon free.
Introduction—humility. Someone once said, “Swallow your pride occasionally, it’s non-fattening”. I wish on a day like today that fruit cake, chocolate and pavlova were non-fattening.
