Hebrews 3:12-14See to it, brothers and sisters, that

none of you has a sinful, unbelieving heart that turns away from the living

God. But encourage one another daily, as long as it is called “Today,” so that none of you may be hardened by sin’s deceitfulness. We have come to share in Christ, if indeed we hold our original

conviction firmly to the very end.

Why did God send His Son as a Baby?

Babies Amaze UsMillions of miles are driven every year to visit

new babies… Nearby Shepherds and Magi from afar traveled

many miles to see the Baby Jesus…With each birth comes new hope and dreams for

a brighter future and a better world…“Mary treasured up all these things and

pondered them in her heart.” Luke 2:19

The EventMost of us call it Christmas…We really don’t know the exact

date, but we know it was real and it changed the world…

Many of the traditions that many of us celebrate on Christmas have pagan roots…

God is the original gift giver…

This week as we give and receive our gifts let’s not forget what God has given us…

Unto us a Child is born… Luke 2:1-21But to each one of us Grace has been given…,

Ephesians 4:7We have different gifts, according to the Grace

given us… Romans 12:6Now about spiritual gifts … and He gives them to

each one, just as He determines… 1 Corinthians 12

God Commands us to share the gift…

Have you given the most precious gift that you can to your loved ones?

Have you shared the GOSPEL?Let’s not lose the opportunity

afforded us by this event that many will celebrate this week…

Have you unwrapped God’s gift to you yet?

We unwrap the gift through our obedience to the Gospel, baptism…

Another precious gift that God gave us was to allow His Son to die on a cross for us…

The gift is meaningless unless you receive it…
