Christmas is a season of irony and song that helps us to know the sacred past and the truth of the Gospel of our salvation.

Christmas wrecks all attempts to penetrate God’s hiddenness and seek Him out in Heaven. He comes to us clothed in our humanity.

Augustine makes plain that the overarching aim of style is not to be showy; it’s to be an instrument of Spirit-led persuasion.

The Lord is coming, that much is certain. He is coming to reign, not only over the heavens, but also over the members of your congregation.
11/26/22
We of all people, because of Christ, can build securely on the future because the truth of Christ runs from the past to the present, establishing a most certain future.

Christ the King’s return will show us what we can only imagine. He will be a king and His a kingdom will be unlike any we have known.
