Sermon from 04 December 2022

Synopsis: On the night of Jesus’ birth, a king had been secreted into the world. A king who would disturb the order of things, a king who would lay down his life for his subjects rather than requiring his subjects to lay down their live for him. A king who would tell his disciple to lay down their lives for one another and if need be, their enemies. He would turn everything upside down, not as a religious figure but as a king. This reality has been lost on us because of what the culture had done to Jesus and what the church has done to Jesus. Jesus didn’t come primarily to forgive. He came to be followed.
