    Second in a series on the riches of having a personal relationship with Christ, from Ephesians 1.

    It’s been over 60 years since Jack Haley, Bert Lahr, Ray Bolger, and a bright-eyed little girl named Judy Garland led us down the road paved with yellow bricks and into the land of Oz.

    Good News Of Great Joy

    Through the visitation of the shepherds and magi we see that Christ was indeed good news of great joy for all people.

    The Christmas story is so familiar to us that we tend to view it through rose colored glasses. We tend to sanitize the scene to make it seem beautiful, pristine. Our nativities represent a postcard picture of Jesus in a pristine creche as he lies in a manger on a bed of hay or straw. It is ...read more

    A Christmas sermon for 2009 preached the Sunday following at Our Saviour’s Lutheran Church, Audubon, Iowa.

    In the Christmas gospel, we are given a word picture of that first Nativity Scene in the stable in Bethlehem.
