Friends,
What a blessing to be in worship this morning! And what a blessing to have my grandparents take part. In my sermon I wanted to challenge us to look at the three basic statements of the master (Jesus) in this passage in Mark. These are: 1) I’m leaving, 2) I’m coming back, 3) Be faithful and do what you are supposed to until I return. From there I believe we need to be looking for and receptive to the presence of Christ coming into our lives this Christmas season. It may happen in a variety of ways, and when we miss these blessings, it is almost always because we were not looking for them. Please remember that I will have a book out next week for you to write down and share when Christmas happens for you.
