We had a wonderful time of fellowship and worship this evening. I am just so blessed to belong to this great congregation of God's people.

We started with a "Living Nativity" outside in our carpark and drinks. Then we moved to worship- still out in the carpark.

I preached on the sign given to the shepherds which just seems so utterly ordinary that it can hardly be thought of as a sign.

"This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger."

Three things about this sign:

1. God is not religious– a religious God would have shown up in a cathedral or temple.

2. God is humble– he doesn't mind what sort of people he hanfs out with

3. God loves you– he has come down to your level so that he can communicate with you.

Have a happy and blessed Christmas everyone.
