Christmas 2023: Be Ready to Receive!

We enter into the second week of Advent and we are packing for Bethlehem. We are packing light by packing peace and getting rid of resentment.

We hear another song from the radio this week. This time from Motown Records. Marvin Gaye’s What’s Going On reminds to ask the question to those around us before we get too far down the road.

We move forward into chapter 4 of Galatians. Sometimes we don’t open the gift that was given in love. The gift was given but the benefits aren’t realized until it is opened!

We continue in our sermon series on how we connect with God. Religious rigidity gets in the way of that connection. So much so we can get into ruts that we can’t get out of. Jesus frees us from our personal ruts!
