The Spirit of Christmas
Experiencing the true Spirit of Christmas
The Spirit of Christmas, Pt. 4
December 25, 2022 • Pastor Jeremy Dente • Isaiah 40:6, Isaiah 49:3, Luke 2:25–35
In our fourth and final message of our series, "The Spirit of Christmas", we look at how a faithful man of God named Simeon was enlightened by the Spirit of God of the providence of God - that he would see the Lord's Christ before he passed away. And Christmas is a reminder of God's providence in all our lives, that he is always working to prepare us for future eventualities.
The Spirit of Christmas, Pt. 3
December 18, 2022 • Pastor Jeremy Dente • 1 Corinthians 12:28–29, 1 Corinthians 12:7, 1 Corinthians 14:1–3, 2 Peter 1:19–21, Luke 1:63–79
In part 3 of our series, "The Spirit of Christmas", we look at how the Holy Spirit enabled Zechariah to bless the Lord and prophesy about the birth of his son, John, and the coming Messiah. In this message, we consider 4 characteristics of biblical prophecy and the importance for all believers to speak prophetically into the lives of others this Christmas season.
The Spirit of Christmas, Pt. 2
December 11, 2022 • Pastor Glenn Moore • Luke 1:41–45
In part 2 of our series "The Spirit of Christmas", we look at the story of Elizabeth, who, when filled with the Holy Spirit, was encouraged to praise God for what was happening in her life. Can the same be said for us today? Remember, through hearing God's word, developing and maintaining a humble heart, and cultivating hope-filled faith, we too can praise God, no matter what this life has to offer!
The Spirit of Christmas, Pt. 1
December 4, 2022 • Pastor Jeremy Dente • Luke 1:26–46, Proverbs 3:5–6, Ephesians 1:3–6, John 15:16
The Spirit of Christmas is not the music.....the decorations......the presents......or the warm feelings of joy, peace, and good will towards men. The Spirit of Christmas is not a thing at all, but a person, the third person of the Triune Godhead - the Holy Spirit. In this series, we'll be looking at the experiences of four people in Luke's gospel who were all powerfully transformed by the Spirit of Christmas - the Holy Spirit. In part 1 of this series, we look at the story of Mary, and how she was empowered for great purpose through the working of the Holy Spirit.
