Last Words

My last message to the people of First United Methodist Church, Pittsburg.

Why Joseph?

Joseph was an ordinary guy. And God worked mightily in his life.

Why Mary?

Why did Mary have a role to play in the birth of God's Son into the world?

Why John?

Why did God send John the Baptist?
1. To show continuity with the Old Testament
2. To preach repentance
3. To show us the value of a faithful life

Why Jesus?

We understand Jesus best when we see him in context of the story of Israel.

Gratitude? What a Crazy Idea!

Why should we be grateful when things are not yet 100% as we want them to be?
