Christmas Message – Brandon Phillips
The responses in the account of Christ's birth which I would argue parallel our responses to the Gospel. There was:
-
Great Shock at the Report
-
Enormous Confusion at the Repercussions
-
Fantastic Joy at the Recognition
-
True Obedience at the Realization
-
Great Sadness at the Rejection
Come Adore The Humble King (CCLI #7134769)
Closing Prayer – Brandon Phillips
Silent Night (#121)
