Three Sermons: Preparing the Nursery, A Very Herod Christmas, and Heart of Darkness

Okay, so it's obviously been a while since I've posted a sermon, and now I've got some catch-up to do. I won't waste your time with excuses. The following buffet of sermons has three Advent sermons, and each one focuses on a different person who acted as a forerunner to Jesus. First comes Mary, then Herod the Great, then Simeon and Anna.
