Sermon from December 23

Advent - Joy

Luke 2: 1 - 20

1. Mary, Joseph, and the shepherds are celebrities now, but they were ordinary people at that time. (Though they were chosen and righteous. We may be ordinary today, but we are chosen of God and He will use us if we are righteous.)
2. Mary and Joseph were poor and lived in an ordinary town.
3. They were in Bethlehem because an enemy government forced them to go there.
4. The shepherds were not even allowed to go to church because they were so low in society.
5. But God's good news brings joy to all people.
6. The blood that ran through the veins of that infant was shed for all of mankind.
