"The Legend of the Little Drummer Boy"
Texts: Matthew 2; Mark 12:41-44
For the next 8 weeks, we bring you some of our favorite messages from 2006. Regular weekly sermon podcasts will resume on February 22, 2009.
Not a traditional sermon, this fictional retelling of The Legend of the Little Drummer Boy (written by Pastor Jon in 2003) helps us imagine how the character of the Little Drummer Boy might have interacted with real biblical characters. While the story is imaginative and fictional, it contains truths which help us give of our best to God.
This telling of the story was recorded at an evening service on December 17, 2006, and originally published on Christmas Eve, December 24, 2006.
