The countdown has started and the excitement is building for Christmas Eve. I know it is going to be a busy and long night but I get so pumped for it that the evening passes by too quickly. I enjoy seeing people that I haven't seen for awhile. I love the music and the candlelight. And I love seeing God's house filled with people gathered in praise of what he has done for us this night.
In years past, I have given up preaching at the late worship service at 10:30 to let someone else preach. I figured that I would be tired and that many would be coming back at 10:30 for a duplicate service so I'd let them hear a different sermon. This year I'm changing it up a bit. This year I'm giving up the early service at 3:00 and preaching the rest through the 10:30. I'll grab a diet coke and a power bar. I'm really looking forward to this service. They all will be packed and exciting but there is something about the last worship service of the night that makes it special. You leave close to midnight as you bring in Christmas morning.
I am looking forward to worshipping with you on Christmas Eve and hear the promise spoken by the angel, "Fear not, for I bring you good news of great joy. For to you is born this day in the city of David, a savior who is Christ the Lord."
O come let us adore him!
