The Proclamation About Christ

12 28 Luke 2.8-35 We have been presented with Christ and are to give praise about Christ.  In this third Christmas message we are challenged to make a proclamation about Christ.  It must be informative.  It must be intentional.  It must be inclusive.  It must be inviting.  The Savior has been born and we are to proclaim it because it is good news of great joy and it is for everyone.

(We apologize.  There is no audio with this message.)

The Praise About Christ

12 14 14 Luke 2.10-20 We turn our attention once again to the very familiar story on the quiet hillside overlooking Bethlehem.  In the still of an ordinary evening, the extraordinary occurred when an angel pulled back the curtain from the unseen realm where they reside to announce the birth of Jesus, the Savior.  The coming of Jesus is a time of praise.  Our praise is a celebration.  Our praise is contagious.  At the coming of Jesus and as we celebrate this Christmas season, are we filled with adoration or apathy?

The Presentation of Christ

12 07 14 Matthew 1.20-23 Once again we turn our attention to the Christ child as we approach Christmas.  Just who is He and why did He come?  Our text reveals to us that Jesus was not only God given to us through the announcement of the angel who reassured that what had happened to Mary was the supernatural work of the Holy Spirit, but also that He is our Savior.  If Jesus is not God, then we are still dead in our sins and hopelessly lost.  He came to be your Savior.
