Christmas 2020 Isaiah 9:1-7 “The Greatest Gift”Christmas 2020 Isaiah 9:1-7 “The Greatest Gift”Introduction “But now, apart from The Law, the righteousness of God has been revealed, attested by The Law and the Prophets.” Romans 3:21 Christmas has always been my favorite time of the year. It seems that no matter how old I get, every Christmas my mind goes back to when I was a child. Me and my two brothers would sneak into my parent's room when they were out, and we would shake the presents that mom had hidden under the bed or in the closet. She always wrapped them up as soon as she brought them home, so we wouldn’t figure out too soon what gifts we were getting. We usually did anyway. At least some of them.
- 12/19/2020Peace On Earth Luke 2:41-52 “How to Find Peace in Trying Times”
Peace On Earth Luke 2:41-52 “How to Find Peace in Trying Times”Peace On Earth Luke 2:41-52 “How to Find Peace in Trying Times”Introduction “Peace I leave with you. My peace I give to you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Don’t let your heart be troubled or fearful.” John 14:27 Last week, as part of our Christmas series, we learned how to have JOY in difficult times. We, as believers, have a never-ending source of joy from Christ Himself. Nothing can rob us of the JOY that we have been given in Christ Jesus. We have joy, for we have been chosen. We have joy for our LORD is sovereign. And therefore, we “rejoice with those who rejoice” (Romans 12:15). This week, I would like to continue along this same line of hopeful messages from God’s Word and discuss how we can not only have joy in difficult times but PEACE, as well. When the angelic hosts announced the birth of the Christ Child to those chosen shepherds in Bethlehem, they shouted these words of praise into the night sky:

Joy To The World (Christmas 2020) Luke 1:46-56, 2:1-7 “Finding Joy in Trying Times”Joy To The World (Christmas 2020) Luke 1:46-56, 2:1-7 “Finding Joy in Trying Times”A few years ago, back when it was acceptable to attend a music concert without risking your health and life, my wife and I attended an Oak Ridge Boys Christmas concert. (This is by no means a “spiritual endorsement” of The Oak Ridge Boys, I just happen to enjoy their music.) Anyways, we had a great time listening to all the Christmas Songs and just soaking up the whole “holiday spirit”, you might say. After the concert, Sandi bought me the group’s latest Christmas CD, which I have enjoyed immensely over the past few years. One of the songs on that CD is entitled “The Most Inconvenient Christmas”. As goes the typical country song, it is told in the form of a story. It is about a family traveling for the Christmas holiday to go and visit their grandfather. As the humorous story unfolds, we see the family experiencing one mishap after another. The car breaks down, and they have to spend the night in a truck stop until the repairs are finished, only to arrive a “grandpa’s” to find out that he had hung some faulty Christmas lights that caught fire and burned his house to the ground. Needless to say, it was a pretty unfortunate Christmas! But then the chorus of the song goes on to say, that although all this was inconvenient, “the most inconvenient Christmas ever was, was the first”. I think that we sometimes forget
- 12/05/2020Christmas Luke 1:5-38 “The Setting, The Son, and The Servant”
Christmas Luke 1:5-38 “The Setting, The Son, and The Servant”Christmas Luke 1:5-38 “The Setting, The Son, and The Servant”Introduction“Therefore, The LORD Himself will give you a sign: See, the virgin will conceive,
have a Son, and name Him Immanuel.” Isaiah 7:14The “Christmas Story”. We’ve all heard it so many times before, but it never loses its wonder. God became flesh and made His dwelling among men. He chose to appear in the lowliest of forms in the
lowliest places. The child of poor working-class parents in a part of the country that no one wished to live. It is a remarkable testimony to the fact that God did indeed “so love the world” (John 3:16), not just the most religious, or the upper-class persons of the world, but the world in its entirety. There was and is no one who is too “low” for Christ to reach. And He proved that where He chose to make His birth announcement. Nazareth was not on the list of the ten most desirable vacation destinations for the well to do. It was a little nothing-of-a-village with very little to offer in the way of reputation. In fact, there was a saying in those days that was well known throughout the region:“Can anything good come out of Nazareth?” John 1:46
