Morning Worship, 1/1/12

This time of year, folks often make resolutions. Can you think of some common ones? Don't most involve doing more? What if we resolved to do less? What if, like the child Jesus in the temple, we used our freedom to sit with God and listen and learn?






*A classic moment unfolded in the Children's Sermon this Sunday. I pointed to the manger scene, which was full last week but now had only a shepherd and a few animals, and asked the children, "Where is Jesus now that he's gone from the manger?"  Check out the audio about 20 minutes in to hear the response.
