CLUMC Matters

Pastor Preston Morgan preaches on Luke 2: 8-20. We are looking to expand our understanding of Christmas and Christmas preparation. 

Luke 14:15-24

Every year, we say we’re going to simplify and have a family Christmas that focuses on the real reason for the season – Jesus.  But every year, overspending, overeating, materialism, and busyiness rob us of our peace and joy, and rob Jesus of his rightful role as the center of our celebration.  “Whose Birthday Is It Anyway?” – loosely based on Mike Slaughter’s book, “Christmas is Not Your Birthday” – will use the images and symbols often related to birthday celebrations to help us approach Christmas differently and be transformed in the process.  The end goal is for worshippers to experience the peace of knowing that God is truly with us, the joy of giving sacrificially, and the love of a Savior who gave everything he had for us.

The first sermon in this series, Rev. Preston Morgan suggests that Jesus has clear expectations on how we celebrate him.

Perhaps the trickiest part of Christian living is transitioning from a glorious and glory-filled Sunday into a Monday morning when the chorus fades to traffic and busyness. Week after week after week, Monday is coming. It feels like it never ends! In this series we’ll look at practical ways to take the worship and sacred rootedness of Sunday into the secular patterns of Monday (and Tuesday and Wednesday and Thursday…).
