Do You Believe in Christmas? - First Christian Church of Newburgh

Methodology

November 28, 2021 • Kevin Brimner • Matthew 1:1–17

Family history is filled with saints and sinners, just as we find in the genealogy of Jesus in Matthew 1:1. The covenant between God and man has always been mediated through one man. Both belief and unbelief shape your family’s future.

Believe the Miracle

December 5, 2021 • Nathan Logsdon • Matthew 1:18–20

Belief and unbelief exposes the heart’s posture. This miracle fulfilled prophecy, accentuates God’s understanding of his people, and brings salvation to all. Do you believe in Christmas?

Believe the Message

December 12, 2021 • Nathan Logsdon • Matthew 1:21

Belief and unbelief echoes salvation. Christmas echoes salvation by placing the cost of sin on Jesus. Christmas echoes salvation from sin over circumstances. Do you believe in Christmas?

Believe the Motive

December 19, 2021 • Nathan Logsdon • Matthew 1:22–23

Belief/unbelief detects motive. Our sin drives the chasm between us and God. God’s motive of nearness has never wavered. Jesus promised to be near through the Holy Spirit. Do you believe in Christmas?

Believe the Story

December 24, 2021 • Nathan Logsdon • Matthew 2:1–2

Do you remember the first time you heard the Christmas story? What was your reaction? The Magi knew of the prophecies and were curious enough to seek out the newborn Messiah. When they found him, their response was to worship him.

Believe the Movement

December 26, 2021 • Nathan Logsdon • Matthew 1:24–25

Belief and unbelief generate movement. Faith movements are generated by reverent belief and practical obedience. Do you believe in Christmas?
