I'm guessing by now that many of you - especially if you've read some of my recent posts - know the deep and growing fondness I have for our little church in Atlanta called Atlanta Westside.  Something quite remarkable has been happening the last few weeks during Advent.  As my good friend and pastor, Walter Henegar, has climbed the steps up to his little perch behind the lecturn to preach, Jesus has entered the room.  I've marveled at how this church planter has really started to find his voice.  Not that he hasn't been a good preacher all along.  It just seems that he's really settling in to being entirely himself up there.  He's not rushed.  He's not nervous.  He laughs more.  He's on the verge of tears more.  I envy this as I am still trying to find my voice.  But that's not why these sermons are so... oh, what's the right word?  That's the thing, I honestly don't know.  That's why I'm doing this.  I'm speechless.  What I do know is that each week I've left church loving Jesus so much more because he's really been there.  So, I had to share these latest sermons with you.  There are three of them - Hope, Joy and Peace (follow this order) - and you can listen to them at www.atlantawestside.org.  If you want to enjoy Christmas a little more than usual - or perhaps, a lot more than you ever have before - then follow that link!
