What's Under Your Christmas Tree?
God has gifts for you that you won't find under the tree this year.
Christmas Eve – The Life-Changing Gift
December 24, 2023 • Vince DiPaola • Luke 1:57–79
🎄 LEARN MORE about Christmas with Lakeshore at http://lakeshorechurch.org/christmas ... Every Christmas, we all look forward to opening gifts of all kinds. We look under the tree to find wrapped gifts just waiting to be opened. Deep down inside though, we hope for things that we really want. Sometimes we find them and other times we don’t. Regardless, rarely do any of these gifts make a true lasting change in our lives that will make Christmas all that we hope it will be in our hearts. Maybe that’s because they never can. But there are gifts that come our way that can’t be bought in stores but only experienced in life, gifts that only God gives and people cannot. These gifts are truly lasting and life-changing because they're the only gifts God sends out to His people. In this series, we’ll explore three gifts God sent out surrounding the birth of Jesus Christ and how these same gifts (in different forms) can be ours as well. No matter what you find under your Christmas tree, God has gifts waiting for you if you will accept them.
