Weekly Sermon Overview:
This week we continue our Advent journey, considering what God is saying to us through the way Jesus entered the world. This week we will consider the Shepherds and the angels. No one would have ever imagined that God would reveal himself to a bunch of shepherds working the late shift. Yet that is exactly what God did reminding us that the good news of the arrival of the baby Jesus is both inclusive and uncontainable. Maybe that should be a nudge to consider seeking God’s joy in unexpected places and sharing it with those around us.
