THE JOYS OF CHRISTMAS - Hearing the Good News (a blogpost for a sermon to be preached at Kenwood Church in Livonia, MI, on December 18, 2016)

Think back on when you were given good news.  It could have been the news that you got the job.  She said, "Yes."  You were going to have a baby.  The Cubs won.  The Lions are good.  The election is over.  Your thesis was accepted.  You don't need to tear out the entire plumbing.  Your car can be fixed.

Receiving good news is a powerful thing.  It can change our present and brighten our future.  Our entire outlook can transform with just a few words.  Attitudes can improve.  Dispositions soften. Good news is great!

Joy was an appropriate word to be used on that day.
