Strangely, we who are pastors can feel frustrated with our preaching during the Christmas season. We struggle to find a fresh way to share the Christmas story. Here’s a tip for getting beyond a creative block in your sermon preparation: read the lyrics of “I Love to Tell the Story.” The words “I love to tell the story: more wonderful it seems than all the golden fancies of all our golden dreams” reminds us that visions of sugarplums dancing in heads can’t compare to the marvels of the Incarnation. Sharing the gospel with childlike wonder keeps the story fresh and vibrant. No gift under the tree compares to the gift of eternal life. Give the gift of the gospel often this Christmas.
This Christmas I pray that individuals visiting your churches will respond to the claims of the gospel. God bless you in your proclamation.
Your friend,
John Greening, GARBC National Representative
