It looks like I'm going to be speaking at my church from the pulpit on Christmas morning. Holy terror, Bat-friends!

What are you going to talk about?

You're going to be great. You have a huge wealth of knowledge to share.

The 'theme' for advent is the descriptors of Jesus given by the angels in announcing his birth. So "Savior" "Christ the lord", etc. I have immanuel, God with us. It's not going to be an exegesis of the Isaiah passage- that's too complex and confusing for a short Christmas morning thing. I'm sticking with the "God with us" part.

This is hard for me. I can teach for hours. I've probably taught 1000 hours of classes to teens and adults on theology. That would be easy. I've even spoken from the pulpit before, but not quite like this. This is kind of crossing into preaching territory and that's different and harder.
