Two down, one to go...

I've been spending Christmas in Scotland with my family and my home church. Our minister retired in October this year, and so I was invited to lead a few of the church services over the festive season. On Christmas Eve, I spoke about the God who went the extra mile to reach out to us and share the Christmas message with us. My theme yesterday for the Sunday service was Christmas Then and Now: we looked at the lives of several people who experienced the very first Christmas, and asked ourselves some honest questions about our own responses in 2015. Still to come is the first Sunday morning service of 2016, when we'll be considering various things that God asks us to "guard" as we enter into a new year.
