Give

Sin fractured the communion between God and humans. Genesis 3:8-11, 19-24

God has never completely abandoned His people. Psalms 46:1, 7; John 6:37

Jesus came to be with us.

Matthew 1:23, John 1:14

The devil does not want people to know that God loves them and wants to be with them.

Jesus came into our world so that we can be with Him in His world eternally.

Jesus makes it possible to have communion with God.

2 Corinthians 5:17-21

God’s presence enables His disciples. Matthew 28:19-20, Acts 18:9-11

Jesus’ Christmas list says that He wants to be with you. Revelation 3:20

Presence

The Christmas List: Presence John 1:1-14 In the early church, a heretic came to mean someone who deviated from an essential doctrine of the church Be a doer of the word not just a hearer. James 1:22 We should live the way Jesus did. 1st Corinthians 11:1 Matthew 10:42 Luke 6:38 You can give mercy and forgiveness no matter how broke you are. Presence is defined as, “Being actively aware of those around you.” The Bible makes it clear that the path to Christ – centeredness is “Others-centeredness”- putting others first. Philippians 2:1-8, Mark 10: 42-45, Mark 9:35 “Salvation is the greatest Christmas gift!” Pastor Dave John 1:14. God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son. John 3:16 What does it mean to give Jesus your heart?

Righteousness

Matthew 1:1-17 There are peculiar characters in the lineage of Jesus and in His story who found favor with God. Matthew 1:24, Luke 1:5-6, 27- 28, 2:8, 25, 36-37 Joshua 2:1-21 Rahab heard about God and his power, and she believed it. Rahab disobeyed her earthly king and did what was right in God’s eyes to save herself and her family. Rahab’s faith and actions put her in Matthew’s list, but there is a more important list to be on. Luke 10:20 Jesus came so that our names could be in His book of life and in heaven with Him forever. Philippians 4:3, Revelation 3:5, 13:8, 20:15, 21:27 Salvation is the greatest Christmas gift
