The Hope of Christmas
As Christians, we celebrate the birth of Christ, remembering that His coming set in motion the events that would lead to Jesus’ death, burial, and resurrection, which gave us the gift of salvation, forgiveness, and relationship with God. So why did so many at the time miss it? And what lesson does that hold for us today?
Responding in Faith
The Christmas account is full of examples of men and women who responded in faith. But there is also a contrast given.
The Fullness of Christ
Christmas is a celebration of Christ’s gift to us. But that gift goes far beyond salvation from the penalty of our sins.
The Word Made Flesh
We know that Jesus is called the Word made flesh, but have you considered the way Christ’s coming demonstrated the faithfulness of God?
This is Love
We all know that Christmas is a celebration of Jesus’ birth, but have you stopped to consider just how great His love really is?
Christmas for the Lonely
Loneliness at Christmastime is a widespread phenomenon, but God wants to use those feelings of emptiness to draw us to Himself.
The Good Shepherd and the Lamb of God
The Bible’s description of Jesus as the Good Shepherd, and also as the Lamb of God are commonly talked about, but together, they create a fuller picture of Christ than we often realize.
Great Joy
The message of the angels was one of “great joy.” In the midst of this weary world, it is easy for us to miss the joy of Christmas.
Preparing My Heart
Christmas is a season of preparation. We buy gifts, hang decorations, and make plans, all in preparation for the celebration of Christ’s first coming to earth. But what about His next coming? How do we prepare for that?
