Out of Egypt There Came a Great Light

Sermon December 26, 2010 on the text Matthew 2:13-23.  We tell the story of Christ's birth like a fairy tale, almost beginning with "once upon a time."  However, we know that Christ's birth was no fairy tale, and it didn't have "and they lived happily ever after" at the end.  We often forget that Jesus came into a world of sin and hardship, and we still live today in that world.  But if we follow God's leading, then God will help us navigate the difficulties life throws our way.  Where is God leading you?  Where is your Egypt?  How are you continuing to share the Light to the children of our world today?
