Less of a sermon, more of an advent calendar...

Some Older Christmas Sermons (feel free to rip them off, I can’t even remember who I stole them from !)
Psalm 72 - one of my favourites
Christmas is God laying hold of us – Hebrews 2:14-18
Evangelistic carols service – Light shining in darkness – Isaiah 9:2-7 (different to the other Isaiah 9)
In the beginning… – John 1:1-2
The Word became flesh – John 1:14
Christmas brings a crisis – John 1:15-18
From the Squalor (Capo 7)
Here's a simplified guitar tab for From the Squalor - one of my favourite carols.
.
The proper tab can be found at Christisinn's excellent channel with over a hundred hymns for guitar (really loving his latest upload O Jesus My Hope).
Ten Minute Carols Talk: “Immanuel”
Make a joyful noise unto the Lord
Funny Nativity
“I know of no God but this one in the manger”
Reason and will would ascend and seek above, but if you would have joy, bend yourself down to this place. There you will find that boy given for you who is your Creator lying in a manger. I will stay with that boy as He sucks, is washed, and dies . . . There is no joy but in this boy. Take Him away and you face the Majesty which terrifies . . . I know of no God but this one in the manger.
-- Martin Luther, Christmas Sermon 1527.
Isaiah 9 Carols Talk (in which I, once again, lay mercilessly into Santa)…
He sees you when you’re sleeping, He knows when you deny the homoousion
Santa giving Arius the slapdown at the council of Nicea.
Read about it here.
Happy St Nicholas' day!
New Kids Song for Christmas (and a few older ones)
Hot off the press - NEW KIDS SONG (though it's not really for kids ;-)
.
And, previously on Christ the Truth...
A song about the OT's wait for Christmas...
.
This one's meant to be sung as a round...

And here's my favourite of all my little ditties...
Loved, Decorated, Rotting
That is Adam's race. Cut off from its LifeSource. It flourishes for a while. It can look and smell good. We can dress it up with all kinds of bling. We can surround it with feasting and fun. But there's no life in it. It's decaying by the minute. And it's end is the rubbish dump.
