The Problem Solver (3 of 4)
Series: All I Want For Christmas
Pastor Jeff Schreve
Isaiah 9:6-7
When I was a kid growing up, my parents would play the movie, The Music Man. And we heard, and my dad had, the songs of The Music Man on reel-to-reel. Some of you remember, some of you kids will remember reel-to-reel. Probably not! We didn't have CD players. I mean, 8-track was really cutting edge when I was a kid. But my dad had reel-to-reel.

All of us have a little something. We have this problem and that problem. And some of you are having a problem with not knowing what to get your spouse for Christmas. I mean, problems don't have to be gigantic to be a problem, you know, but it's what Ronald Reagan said, "You know the difference between a recession and a, a depression?

But what do you do when problems reach a fever pitch?
