I always find this time of year exciting but daunting. Exciting because there are so many opportunities to talk with people, to go into school, to preaching the gospel, the great news that Jesus comes to save us sent by God.
But also daunting because people can know the story so well that they are almost innoculated to it, the eyes glaze over as they hear another Christmas message. The biggest danger is that I feel the need to innovate - to come up with more shocking and spectacular ways of starting off the talk, or more gimmics to keep people hooked. But it is God's word that will arrest and convict people not my poor efforts at ingenuity. It is God's gospel which I must work hard at explaining to people whilst praying that God through his Holy Spirit will save who he wants to save.
