A sermon about the dignity God gives to the weak.

Our world is preoccupied with the rich and famous. They are the ones we follow on social media, and the ones we write stories about. Yet, Christmas every year introduces us to a small family which seems insignificant. By being born into a poor, humble family, God shows us the worth he places on those who are weak. This sermon challenges us to let go of the contempt and frustration we feel for the weaknesses of others, and for the weaknesses we see in ourselves

Scripture Reference: Luke 2:1-20
