After the challenging year we've had, many people are seeking comfort and consolation at this Christmas time. In this sermon (recorded on Sunday 20th December), we look in Luke's gospel at a man called Simeon, who was also waiting to be comforted. We discover why he was able to rejoice when he saw the baby Jesus and how the comfort he experienced is still available today to people from all walks of life.

A Christmas Message: When Christmas was almost cancelled (Matthew 2:1-18)
How do we avoid feeling like Christmas has been cancelled this year?
In this message, we look back at the time when King Herod set out to kill the infant Jesus - a time when Christmas really was almost cancelled - and we explore the story told by the gifts of the Wise Men and how, in Jesus Christ, we find a joy that we can cling to and a joy-giver who will cling to us.

A Christmas Message: A small gathering for a big event (Luke 2:8-20)
This year, many people have had to organise a big event where they have only been allowed a small gathering. When the number of invitations are limited, then those who do get an invite must be particularly important in some way.
In this Christmas message, we explore why God chooses to invite a few shepherds to one of the biggest events in history - the birth of God's Son.
