In this second sermon in our Christmas series about the incarnation of Jesus, we look at the early days of Jesus ministry. Not much is said in the gospels about Jesus' early years. One of the first instances we see in the life of Jesus from the gospel of Matthew is a season of temptation and preparation for Jesus before he enters public ministry. He is led by the Holy Spirit into the wilderness to prepare him for the public life. However, just as Jesus' wilderness experience helped prepare him for his public ministry, so his early years were a season of preparation for his wilderness temptations. In this sermon by Pastor Seth Winterhalter we ask the question, what are you doing to "mind the gap" and prepare yourself now for what God has for you next?
