Matthew 1:18-25

Matthew 11:2-11

Isaiah 11:1-4

Romans 13:8-14 Christmas is a great time of year. During the Christmas season, we celebrate God coming into our world the first time and we are reminded that He is coming again. Our day of total redemption is near. Salvation will be completed with the redemption of our bodies when Christ comes again. Be awake and be ready!

Luke 1:67-79

Haggai 2:1-9

Luke 19:1-10 What does restitution accomplish? It loosens the grip of the devil. Charles Wesley wrote "it breaks the power of cancelled sin." God alone forgives, but we know that the devil holds our past over us whenever he can. Making amends is part of releasing our own spirit from guilt.

Jeremiah 31:31-34 God's good news message to us is that this is the day! This is the moment to cash in on a great new opportunity. We're not expected to live in perfection; we're expected to live in faith. We're not expected live for ourselves; we're expected to live for God.
