The Symbol of the Cross

Westminster Church is in the middle of a transition in worship.  Our 37+ year organist is retiring and we are thinking about what kind of worship we want moving forward.  In order to set the stage for those discussions, I decided to preach a sermon about what worship is and how it developed into what it is today.

In this sermon I look at the story of Zechariah and Elizabeth and the birth of John the Baptist.  Luke splices this story in with the story of Mary and Joseph and the birth of Jesus.  What we find out is that since it began Christmas has been difficult for families.  What does that mean for how we relate to our families during the holidays?

In the sermon I talk about Advent.  I talk about what it is, the spiritual posture that we should take in it, and why I think it is a bad thing that we have lost it.  You can also read the sermon on my blog at http://www.jordanrimmer.com/how-the-grinch-stole-advent/.
