How much room do you have? (Luke 2:1-7)
Dave Sunman, 11 December 2016
Part of the Advent 2016 series, Sunday Morning service
Mary and Joseph arrived in Bethlehem in time for Jesus to be born, but struggled to find somewhere for him to sleep. Luke tells us that they laid him in a manger because there was no room for them in the inn. Today we still struggle to find room for Jesus with everything else that is going on in our lives. Do you have room for him?

Luke 2:1–7 (Listen)
2:1 In those days a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be registered. 2 This was the first registration when Quirinius was governor of Syria. 3 And all went to be registered, each to his own town. 4 And Joseph also went up from Galilee, from the town of Nazareth, to Judea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and lineage of David, 5 to be registered with Mary, his betrothed, who was with child. 6 And while they were there, the time came for her to give birth. 7 And she gave birth to her firstborn son and wrapped him in swaddling cloths and laid him in a manger, because there was no place for them in the inn.
