Merry Christmas to you! I am glad you are here on this Christmas day worship service today. Psalm 126 says, "The LORD has done great things for us, and we are filled with joy." I hope and pray you are filled with joy today. Maybe you will receive that gift that you wanted -- maybe you won't. Maybe you'll have a special moment today with family you haven't seen in a long time -- maybe you won't. Here is what you can be assure of: "Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord. This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger." (Luke 2:11-12) May the hope and truth of God's love and rescue to you bring you joy this Christmas season!
