 God Himself is With Us
O Lord Thou Hast Ascended (Based on Psalm 68)

O Holy Night

Recommended Christmas poem:

'Twas the Light Before Christmas (author unknown)

Excerpt from this poem:

"I asked [Santa] if Jesus was God in the flesh
He said that was something he couldn’t confess.
He said 'I am Santa, I have come from afar.'
I stood in the truth, 'The Devil you are!
That suit and that beard doesn’t fool me one bit
Your jolly deception is straight from the pit!.'"

Recommended Christmas Sermon:

O Come All ye Failures, by Dr. David P. Murray

The text for this sermon is Matthew 11:28 (Audio):

"Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest."
