Pastor Lynn begins a new sermon series tomorrow entitled The Characters of Christmas. Join us tomorrow at 8:30, 9:30, or 10:50 a.m., as we explore the shepherds of Christmas. Heres an excerpt from Pastor Lynns sermon: Misfits and outcasts—that describes the cast of characters we encounter in Luke’s telling of the Christmas story. Shepherds. There’s not a Christmas pageant or play that can be had without shepherds. They’re so cute when our children don oversized bathrobes and towels to depict them in church Christmas programs. I almost believe that we fail to realize that it was to these misfits that God chose to announce the Good News of the birth of Jesus. God didn’t chose the mayor of Bethlehem, or the then King of the Jews, Herod. One would think with all these angels around, surely one would show up at Herod’s Palace saying, Hey, Herod. You’re done. There’s a new king in town. That didn’t happen. Not even Caesar Augustus was let in on this Good News. Nope. Smelly, dirty shepherds were the chosen ones this night. Outcasts and misfits. Join us tomorrow!
