Together for Purpose

November 20, 2022 by Brad Murphy

This entry is part 1 of 1 in the series Christmas Together

Week 1 – Christmas Together

DIGITAL BULLETIN 27 November 2022

When life is tearing things apart, Jesus is bringing people together!

In this message, Pastor Brad begins our advent series “Christmas Together,” from the New Testament events surrounding the first Christmas.

In this first advent sermon, you will learn how Jesus brings people together for a purpose. When Mary became pregnant just before their wedding, Joseph was justified to divorce her quietly. But God had a greater plan. God had a purpose that only Mary and Joseph could fulfill together.

God has a purpose for you too. It will include working together with others. Join us as we learn to celebrate Christmas together for a purpose.

For God so loved the world, that He gave His only Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life.
John 3:16

Christmas Together for Purpose

SCRIPTURE: Matthew 1:18-25; Luke 1:26-38; Galatians 4:4-5 (ESV)

Now the birth of Jesus Christ took place in this way. When his mother Mary had been betrothed to Joseph, before they came together she was found to be with child from the Holy Spirit. ¹⁹And her husband Joseph, being a just man and unwilling to put her to shame, resolved to divorce her quietly. ²⁰But as he considered these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, do not fear to take Mary as your wife, for that which is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. ²¹She will bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins.” ²²All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had spoken by the prophet:
²³ “Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son,
and they shall call his name Immanuel”(which means, God with us).
²⁴When Joseph woke from sleep, he did as the angel of the Lord commanded him: he took his wife, ²⁵but knew her not until she had given birth to a son. And he called his name Jesus.
Matthew 1:18-25 (ESV)

Before Coming Together
Resolve to Divorce Quietly
Called Him Jesus

May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope.
Romans 15:13 (ESV)

How to Pray So God Will Hear You

I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life. ¹⁴And this is the confidence that we have toward him, that if we ask anything according to his will he hears us. ¹⁵And if we know that he hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we have the requests that we have asked of him.
1 John 5:13-15 (ESV)

Pray with CONFIDENCE
Pray with COMPASSION
Pray with UNDERSTANDING

If anyone sees his brother committing a sin not leading to death, he shall ask, and God will give him life—to those who commit sins that do not lead to death. There is sin that leads to death; I do not say that one should pray for that. ¹⁷All wrongdoing is sin, but there is sin that does not lead to death.
¹⁸We know that everyone who has been born of God does not keep on sinning, but he who was born of God protects him, and the evil one does not touch him.
¹⁹We know that we are from God, and the whole world lies in the power of the evil one.
²⁰And we know that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding, so that we may know him who is true; and we are in him who is true, in his Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life. ²¹Little children, keep yourselves from idols.
1 John 5:16-21 (ESV)

The Testimony of Eternal Life

Who is it that overcomes the world except the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?
⁶This is he who came by water and blood—Jesus Christ; not by the water only but by the water and the blood. And the Spirit is the one who testifies, because the Spirit is the truth. ⁷For there are three that testify: ⁸the Spirit and the water and the blood; and these three agree. ⁹If we receive the testimony of men, the testimony of God is greater, for this is the testimony of God that he has borne concerning his Son.
1 John 5:5-9 (ESV)

World’s False Testimony (Matthew 16:13-14)
God’s True Testimony
- The SPIRIT (John 16:8-11)
- The WATER (John 1:29-34, Matthew 3:16-17)
- The BLOOD (John 1:29, Hebrews 10:1-18)
Your Testimony (Matthew 16:15-17)

Whoever believes in the Son of God has the testimony in himself. Whoever does not believe God has made him a liar, because he has not believed in the testimony that God has borne concerning his Son. ¹¹And this is the testimony, that God gave us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. ¹²Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life.

How to Experience God’s Love

¹⁶So we have come to know and to believe the love that God has for us. God is love, and whoever abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him. ¹⁷By this is love perfected with us, so that we may have confidence for the day of judgment, because as he is so also are we in this world. ¹⁸There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear. For fear has to do with punishment, and whoever fears has not been perfected in love. ¹⁹We love because he first loved us. ²⁰If anyone says, “I love God,” and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen cannot love God whom he has not seen. ²¹And this commandment we have from him: whoever loves God must also love his brother.
1 John 4:16-21 (ESV)

Perfect Love Casts out FEAR
Perfect Love Casts out HATE
Perfect Love Casts out SIN
Perfect Love GIVES OUT FAITH

Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ has been born of God, and everyone who loves the Father loves whoever has been born of him. ²By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and obey his commandments. ³For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments. And his commandments are not burdensome. ⁴For everyone who has been born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith. ⁵Who is it that overcomes the world except the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?
