John 3:16

Exchanging gifts has become a big part of Christmas today, but gift buying can sometimes become tricky. But there is one Gift that everyone needs; it will fit all who will put it on; and they may not want it at first but after the Holy Spirit gets through with them, they will be ready to receive it. We are talking about the greatest gift ever! We are talking about the Gift of Jesus!  
Extra scriptures: John 1:11-12, John 19:30, Mark 14:32-36, Romans 5:8 and John 3:17-18

John 1:1-5

Maybe it is because the bright light of the star led the wise men to baby Jesus, but for some reason "lights" have become associated with Christmas. Christmas lights are everywhere at this time of the year. I am OK with that as long as those Christmas lights don't push THE CHRISTMAS LIGHT out of the way. Let's focus on Him this morning..

Matthew 1:21-25

There are those in our world today who question the supernatural and miraculous, but a very important part of the Christmas story is the supernatural conception of our Savior! This truth cannot be denied or diminished because it is absolutely essential to God's plan of redemption! 

Exodus 15: 22-25

This week I was praying about a follow up sermon to my Thanksgiving sermon and I was reminded that to "compare and contrast" is a good teaching method. So, today I want to talk bout the contrast between "Thanksgivng" and "Gripegiving" as we look at the complainers at Marah!.
