Sermon for 12-14-25 Lessons and Carols, Pastor Mark Goble, Christ the King Lutheran Church Memphis

This sermon explores the healing and restorative power of worship through music and God's Word, using the story of Martin Abner, a man with neurological challenges who found transformation and wholeness when he returned to church and choir singing. The pastor connects this to the origins of the Lessons and Carols service, which began as an effort to draw people from pubs to church during Christmas season. The message emphasizes that we all experience rejection and brokenness in some degree, but God's Word and music have the power to restore our humanity and give us glimpses of the eternal through Christ. The sermon concludes with the understanding that this restoration isn't merely emotional but represents the actual power of the Spirit working through His Word. When we experience this healing through worship, we can pray with confidence for Christ's return and the ultimate fulfillment of God's promises.
