Sermon Notes

Date: 12/25/2011

Preacher: Keith Barker, elder

Key Text: Matthew 2:11

Description: This passage in Matthew is that old old story that we have know since childhood.  The baby, the shepherds, the Magi, the special star, and the gifts.   It was special to us as children, but now as adults we too often tend to gloss over it.   Today let’s take time to explore it — to soak in it a bit –to see the marvel and wonder of God becoming a man so that He could live out a sinless life and then give that life on the cross for us.
