Travel Warnings

“The Christ looks at a travel warning and says “Hell, no!” These are my people. And nobody is going to tell me that I can’t go be with my people, where they are, as they are.  That’s what tonight is about. And that’s why when that baby Jesus (smack hands) hit the atmosphere, you can bet he cried, because… Damn. Human life is hard.  Human life is messy.  And Jesus was not and is not immune to the hardness and the messiness.  The hardness and the messiness is where Jesus eats his lunch. That’s what tonight is about. About a God who doesn’t give a DAMN about travel warnings.  And that’s important. That’s important because every one of us … every one of our lives … when we dig deep and get down to it … has a travel warning.” Sermon by Mike Kinman from worship at 8:00 p.m. on Christmas Eve, December 24, 2022 at All Saints Church, Pasadena.
