Just over 500 years ago the church affirmed, against the Roman authorities, the Scriptural basis of salvation. While Baptists were already preaching the Bible and salvation through Jesus, this affirmation became a huge turning point in Christian worship and practice. Today we continue to study one of the passages that led to a reaffirmation of biblical salvation through grace alone. Sola Gratia, By Grace Alone, became one of 5 pillars of the Protestant movement to point people back to Scripture and to glorify God for the work He did to save us!

He didn’t wear the crown of a king. He wasn’t born into privilege. His parents weren’t all that famous…they were more likely scandalous (by reputation, not reality). Jesus came differently than most expected, for He had a different mission to accomplish. Today we will see some of that significance as we read the story about the Original Christmas Child!

Guess What!? Do those words scare you or excite you? Sometimes they are followed with great joy: “Guess what! I just got a promotion!” Sometimes they are followed with great disappointment: “Guess what…I just lost my job.” Mary the Mother of Jesus had a “Guess What” moment with the angel Gabriel. “Guess what! You are going to have a baby! His Name will be Jesus!”
