Don’t you love the feeling of Christmas?

Cheer, wonder, excitement, generosity.

This year, our whole church, will be taking a journey through the feelings of the First Christmas through the Eyes of those who were there.  Our children will be having their own special experience at LifeKids, in Professor Playtime’s Christmas Shop of Wonders.

Luke 1:26-38; Philippians 4:112-13; 1 Peter 5:7; John 21:15-19

Courageous Faith Comes from Surrender to God’s Care

Like a soldier on the battlefield, the courage to stay in the battle and fight for the mission, comes from surrender to the care and orders of your commanding officer.  On this Veterans Day weekend we start our newest sermon series, That Christmas Feeling, with the topic Courageous Faith.

“I am the Lord’s servant,” Mary answered. “May it be to me as you have said.”
– Luke 1:38 | NIV

Courageous Faith:

  1. Starts with Fear,
  2. Grows with Revelation, and
  3. Culminates with Surrender to God’s Care

Overcome fear, hunger for revelation, and rest in surrender to Jesus through the inspiration of this message.

Matthew 1:18-24; Ephesians 5:25-30; John 15:12-17; 2 Corinthians 5:21

A High-Fidelity Man is True to the Original

Like the evolution of home audio equipment went from low-fi to high-fi, so we can become High-Fidelity people.  Through the story of Joseph, the man chosen by God to raise his child, we can learn about the Loyalty of a Righteous Man, who is true to the original.  On this Remember the Poor Sunday, may God lead us to be generous in our care for the Poor.

“When Joseph woke up, he did what the angel of the Lord had commanded him and took Mary home as his wife.”
– Matthew 1:24 | NIV

A High-Fidelity Man or Woman:

  1. Understands Our Story is HisStory
  2. Is Righteous
  3. Hears from God for their Family
  4. Knows life is about God’s Plan
  5. Is a Person of Action

Be inspired to change your vision, and see that God has given you an opportunity to hear from Him for your family, and take action to bring Jesus to your world!

Listen to That Christmas Feeling | Shepherd’s Great Joy
December 1, 2013 | Pastor Brad Murphy
Luke 2:1-20; 1 Corinthians 15:1-11

The Good News is Great Joy

That first Christmas the Angel’s announced the Good News, that Jesus was born, to bring Great Joy to all the people.  Who did the angels share the most important announcement in the history of the world with? Shepherds!  And not only to these shepherds who were living out in the fields, but it was the night watch, the graveyard crew.

“But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. 11 Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord. ”
– Luke 2:10-11 | NIV

Taking cues from the Apostle Paul in 1 Corinthians 15:1-11, Pastor Brad discusses 10 lessons about the Good News of Great Joy!

  1. The Joy of the Gospel is Sometimes Forgotten
  2. The Joy of the Gospel is Good News
  3. The Joy of the Gospel is Preached
  4. The Joy of the Gospel is Received & Lived
  5. The Joy of the Gospel is of First Importance
  6. The Joy of the Gospel is for the Sin Problem
  7. The Joy of the Gospel is Unchanging
  8. The Joy of the Gospel is all about Jesus
  9. The Joy of the Gospel is for the Religion Problem
  10. The Joy of the Gospel is on a Mission

There are two enemies of the Gospel, sin & religion.  It was the religious people who killed Jesus. It was for sinning people that Jesus died.  The Gospel is a cure for both the sin problem & the religion problem.

Listen to That Christmas Feeling | Expecting Comfort & Freedom

Luke 2:21-35, John 14-15, Matthew 23:37

Expecting Comfort and Freedom

Christmas is a time of expectation.

Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house,
Not a creature was stirring not even a mouse.
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,
in hopes that St. Nickolas soon would be there.
-Clement Clarke Moore, Twas the Night Before Christmas

 

Some look forward to the giving of gifts.  Others long for that moment when the whole family gathers around the table for diner.  Still others agonize that it the first Christmas without a loved one.

As we continue the series, That Christmas Feeling, we look at the expectation of Simeon and Anna.  Two often overlooked characters at the the first Christmas.  These two were used by God to confirm and testify to the deity of the Christ.  The Apostle Luke recorded their eye witness accounts:

This child is destined to cause the falling and rising of many in Israel, and to be a sign that will be spoken against, so that the thoughts of many hearts will be revealed.
Luke 2:34-35

Through the life and ministry of Jesus Christ, the thoughts of hearts are revealed.

This Christmas, will you be one who falls away, or will you be lifted up through the encouragement to Expect Comfort and Freedom?
