Sermon Notes:
The Gift for Everyone
Pastor Justin Miller

 

This Christmas we celebrate Heaven coming to earth, God in the flesh – Jesus, our Savior born to the virgin Mary.  God’s light pierced through our darkness and changed our world forever—everything about it is a miracle!  The best part? It wasn’t just for the spiritual, it wasn’t just for the elite, or for the religious. It wasn’t just for a certain group of people—Jesus came as a gift for EVERYONE!

Luke 2:8-20 NIV
8 And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. 9 An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. 10 But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. 11 Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord. 12 This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.” 13 Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying, 14 “Glory to God in the highest heaven, and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests.” 15 When the angels had left them and gone into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, “Let’s go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has told us about.”

16 So they hurried off and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby, who was lying in the manger. 17 When they had seen him, they spread the word concerning what had been told them about this child, 18 and all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds said to them. 19 But Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart. 20 The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things they had heard and seen, which were just as they had been told.

 

The angels announce that God has brought Jesus to us for everyone!

 

God wants you today to know that He is for you and that the gift of the Savior is given to all of us!


You are not alone. God is for You.

 

Jesus is personal. Custom fit from God, by God for you.

Jesus is the Prince of Peace.

 

Jesus is our hope when we are hopeless.

 

Jesus is our light in the darkness.

 

Jesus’ grace is always enough

 

 

2 Corinthians 9:15 NIV

15 Thanks be to God for his indescribable gift!

 

Jesus is the love of God for you.

 

True peace can only be found in Jesus

 

Luke 2:16-20 NIV

16 So they hurried off and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby, who was lying in the manger. 17 When they had seen him, they spread the word concerning what had been told them about this child, 18 and all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds said to them.

 

The good news of Jesus should never be kept to yourself.

 

Jesus wants to shine His light through you.

 

Let it shine.

 

 

Closing Prayer: Ken Smith

Never forget, God is in you and with you always. He will never forget you, He will never turn away. He is listening and always, God Loves You No Matter What!
