    Christmas Eve is the time, when the membrane between heaven and earth is so thin you can almost see through it. This is the night when God sent out a love letter of cosmic proportions, the night when Christ entered the world, fully God and fully man.

The designated Scriptures for this Christmas Eve Service are: Isaiah 9:2-7; Psalm 96; Titus 2:11-14 and Luke 2:1-20. Can you hear it? ......There is a buzz in the air. ......Maybe you can feel it.

    Christ deserves the first place in all things: in our lives, in our families, in our time, in our conversations, in our studies, in our mission and ministry, in our jobs and businesses, in our decisions, and in everything! I would be delighted if you could rate this sermon and give brief feedback.
