That'll Preach!

I love it when God just unfurls sermon illustrations before us.  So I pass these stories on for those of you who keep files because these'll preach.  

 

The first story is about people playing St. Nicholas by paying off the layaways of others.

 

The second story is about living the radical faith of Jesus who told us that when someone asks us for our coat, we should give them our shirt as well.

 

A man with a knife appears on the end of the pew at All Saints   Church, Norfolk, Great Britain, depicting the sin of anger. 

 Miracles of God's goodness are happening around us all the time.  May we be given the eyes of a child at Christmas to see them every day of the New Year.
