It seems odd to preach a sermon about John the Baptist 3 weeks before Christmas. He wasn’t even there that first Christmas night! But John’s message invites us into a different way of preparing for Christmas. “Prepare the way for the Lord. Make your hearts ready for him. Straighten the crooked paths of this world, loose the bonds that hold people back, proclaim the Good News far and wide.” In this week’s sermon, Pastor Rhodes reminds us to prepare our hearts with the same urgency that we prepare our homes.
