The Truth About Snowflakes  Click here Click title to view sermon Luke 2: 1–14
Summary: 

Every snowflake is different, but they all start out the same. It’s only in the buffeting by the wind as they tumble to earth that they achieve their individual beauty. In many ways, we are the same. When it comes to our DNA, we are alike at the level of 99.9 %.1 Yet the buffeting of life makes us very different individuals. Every character in the Christmas story was also shaped by life’s varied circumstances. And each of us — like them — is individually beautiful beyond belief.

Family Values?  Click here Click title to view sermon Luke 2: 22–40

Which set of values we instill by our example is the only real measure as to whether we have presented anything at all.
