Have you ever been called a hypocrite? I have, I didn’t like. I have been called such a thing more than once, and while it hurts to be wrongfully accused of hypocrisy, it hurts quite a lot more when it’s true. Jesus calls people hypocrites in the Gospels. Oh, not all the time, but he…
Date: December 25, 2011 Liturgical Sunday: Christmas Day RCL Scripture: Psalm 97; Isaiah 9:2-7; Titus 3:4-7; Luke 2:1-20 Sermon Title: Christmas Knox Presbyterian [audio:https://wordsfromthemiddle.ca/wp-content/uploads/111225_-_Knox.mp3|titles=Christmas] St. Mark’s Presbyterian [audio:https://wordsfromthemiddle.ca/wp-content/uploads/111225_-_St_Marks.mp3|titles=Christmas] Nothing like the Christmas season to “help” you be late for things like blogs 🙂 Nevertheless, I did in fact preach on Christmas Day.
