Christmas Day 2024 Sermon: The Salvation of Our God
In this Christmas Day sermon, we explore the beauty, joy, and power of the message of Jesus' birth. From Isaiah's prophecy to the manger in Bethlehem, we see how God displayed His faithfulness and salvation in humility. Let this message of hope and redemption inspire your celebration and proclamation of the gospel.
Contemplate these questions as you listen to this message:
How does the humility of Jesus’ birth contrast with His preeminence as described in Colossians 1:16-17?
Why is the message of God’s salvation in Isaiah 52:7-10 described as "beautiful," and how should it impact our proclamation of the gospel?
In what ways does the Christmas story reveal God’s power through weakness, and how can this truth encourage us to share our faith?
December 17 Evening Meditation: On Them Has Light Shone
As we planned the service for this evening. There were a lot of factors that we considered over the time and the conversations about what we were gonna do this evening actually started more than a year ago. We knew that we wanted to do something with candlelight, some sort of candlelight service. What we would do with the service we weren't sure about. We had some ideas. Should we have the children sing at the service? Do we have the choir sing? What kind of candles do we want to have? Probably the smartest thing we did was we decided to order the candles in February so we wouldn't be competing with other people with them for October and November.
