The work of Christmas

The work of Christmas
by Howard Thurman

When the song of the angels is stilled,
When the star in the sky is gone,
When the kings and princes are home,
When the shepherds are back with their flocks,

The work of Christmas begins:

To find the lost,
To heal the broken,
To feed the hungry,
To release the prisoner,
To rebuild the nations,
To bring peace among people,
To make music in the heart.

Epiphany sermon prep...

The chosen people hoped

The light shown, but for all!

Everyone is welcomed at the banquet

“I cannot come to the banquet, don’t trouble me now”

Highways and byways and bring them in.

God’s grace is an amazing grace.

God invites us

God pursues us

God calls us and brings us in to the banquet.

And then we are sent out.

We are transformed

We return by another way

Knowing that we have a place at the table, a bed in the mansion, with arms encircling us.

We return by another way, like the wise men.

We are God's chosen people.

Carrying the good news to all nations.
