Week 4 “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.

As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God’s varied grace:

1 Peter 4:10 (ESV), emphasis added

In today’s message, you will learn how God uniquely interacts with the Wisemen to draw them into knowledge of His salvation for all the world. This is contrasted with Herod, who God uses to expose the corruption of this world and our need for salvation. Through the facets of Wisdom and Power, God exposes the evil that is in each heart and how we can find forgiveness for our sins.

The Facets of Wisdom & Power

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… 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 37:5-6, 12-13 (ESV)

Today’s Outline

For Jews demand signs and Greeks seek wisdom, but we preach Christ crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and folly to Gentiles, but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God.

1 Corinthians 1:22-24 (ESV), emphasis added

Where is he who has been born king of the Jews? For we saw his star when it rose and have come to worship him.”

Matthew 2:2 (ESV), The Wisemen talking to Herod
  1. Consider a Snowflake
    – Job 37:5-13, 1 Peter 4:7-11
  2. Consider the First Christmas
    – Matthew 2:1-23
  3. Consider the Enneagram

  4. Consider your Life
    – Matthew 20:25-26, 1 Corinthians 1:22-24

But Jesus called [the deciples] to him and said, “You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great ones exercise authority over them.  It shall not be so among you. But whoever would be great among you must be your servant,”

Matthew 20:25-26 (ESV)

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/)

  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
