Magi and Shepherds

Magi and Shepherds, originally uploaded by speartoons.

This is my sermon notes from December 27, 2009. Pastor Jim Lyon was talking about accepting all people, whether low-class shepherds or high-class Magi.

The sermon was taken from Luke 2:8-16 and Matthew 2:9-12. How different would the Christmas story be if Joseph and Mary didn’t welcome the shepherds or the Magi. Yet they were two very different groups. God welcomes all groups regardless of social class.

Sermon Notes: God is sovereign

Posted on by

My pastor, Jim Lyon, took last Sunday’s sermon from Malachi 1:1-5.

We will be much better off when we come to terms with the with acknowledging God is sovereign. Sometimes, we don’t understand His decisions. We see through a foggy glass.
We don’t understand why God chose Jacob over Esau (Genesis 25). We just have to remind ourselves that God has a plan and in the end, it will all work out.
