Rev Bill

I have posted my sermon for today on my sermon blog. It’s based on Isaiah 61:1-4,8-11 and John 1:6-8,19-28 and entitled “Christmas Profits and Christmas Prophets”.

Here’s a portion of it:

So – while the Christmas Season in the “real world” may be a time that the merchants hope is filled with profits, profits, and more profits – for us as Christians it needs to be a time filled with prophets, prophets, and more prophets.

Now – it may seem that I just said the same thing.
Let me explain.
For the merchants Christmas may be a time for profits –P R O F I T S.
For us as Christians it needs to be a time for prophets – P R O P H E T S.

For us as Christians it needs to be a time filled with prophets, prophets, and more prophets.
Prophets – that can help us have our vision renewed — and help us see God and God’s work in the world in a new way.
It is a time for prophets that can help us allow the coming of God into our world make a difference in our lives — so we too can be prophets — showing God’s work and will to others in all we say and do.

Christmas can be a time for profits – PROFITS – but it can also is a time for prophets – PROPHETS.
