A Sermon: Empty Handed Helpers

We cannot hold on to the blessings of Christ if our hands are wrapped around something, anything, else.

We will not enter into the joy of our Father if we continue to seek fulfilment in the things of this world.

Describing the gift of Christ at Christmas cannot be done by th use of one name alone.
We find in the manger a gift so large that it does indeed ‘hold the whole world in it’s hands’
