Scripture: Ephesians 5:15-17
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. One of my favourite humility sayings is, “Humility is not thinking less of yourself, its thinking of yourself ...read more

After this, God’s judgment of the earth and its king will be complete - but there ...read more
