His Death – The Gift of Forgiveness and Reconciliation

The wages of sin is death but the gift of God is eternal life. Romans 6:23 succinctly summarizes the good news of the gospel- Jesus came to give us life. But not just any life, he came to literally give us HIS life! As sinners apart from God, we are all under the death sentence but Christ took our place to pay for our sin and he now offers us what we could never earn- forgiveness. Furthermore, to be forgiven means that we are now reconciled with God and embraced into his family. As the Christmas carol proclaims: God and sinners reconciled.

His Ministry – The gift of Healing and Repentance

We all have problems but when we are alone our problems seem impossible. Jesus’ ministry focused on healing and repentance. At its root, all of our problems and suffering are consequences of sin. Jesus is God who shares our sufferings and trials to share his healing and give us a chance to turn our life around and receive his peace, a peace that has overcome the world.

His Birth – The Gift of Presence

We are an ADD generation. We have been constantly and ceaselessly bombarded by an endless array of distractions. The result of this is that we find it very difficult to be present, particularly to those who should matter most to every one of us (family). In this message, we will be challenged to ponder the birth of Jesus Christ as the fulfillment of God’s promise in the name of Emmanuel- God with us. God came to give us the gift of his presence and his undivided attention so that we may receive the peace that comes from being fully present in the here and now. We need not fret and we need not worry for everything we truly need we already have.
