Sermon: Dave Lambert read from Luke 2:8-11, and stated that the Gospel is for everyone, no matter his or her status. He used the shepherds’ example of the best way to answer God’s call: they came as they were, humbly, in faith, and in haste, and then they were willing to share the good news with others.
