Week 3 “The Facets of Christmas”

Like the way our Creator uniquely forms each snowflake, He is forming unique facets within each of us. He is working deep in our souls to build the structure and strength that will be used in our unique purpose in life. Through the characters of the Christmas Story, we will uncover the variety of God’s grace for the rich and poor, male and female, and all the variety of unique personalities among all of humanity.

In today’s message, you will learn how God uniquely interacts with the Shepherds to draw them into His good news and great joy for all the world. Through the facets of Hope and Contentment, God validates the shepherds identity and gives them a spirit of enthusiasm.

The Facets of Hope & Contentment

God thunders wondrously with his voice; he does great things that we cannot comprehend. For to the snow he says, ‘Fall on the earth,’ likewise to the downpour, his mighty downpour. He seals up the hand of every man, that all men whom he made may know it. Then the beasts go into their lairs, and remain in their dens. From its chamber comes the whirlwind, and cold from the scattering winds. By the breath of God ice is given, and the broad waters are frozen fast. He loads the thick cloud with moisture; the clouds scatter his lightning. They turn around and around by his guidance, to accomplish all that he commands them on the face of the habitable world. Whether for correction or for his land or for love, he causes it to happen.

Job 37:5-13 (ESV)

Today’s Outline

And the angel said to them, “Fear not, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people.”

Luke 2:10 (ESV), emphasis added
  1. Consider a Snowflake
    – Job 37:5-13, 1 Peter 4:7-11
  2. Consider the Enneagram (https://www.enneagraminstitute.com/)
    – Discover you Enneagram Type (https://www.truity.com/test/enneagram-personality-test)
  3. Consider the First Christmas
    – Luke 2:1-20
  4. Consider your Life
    – James 2:2-4

Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.

James 1:2-4 (ESV), emphasis added
