“Because of Bethlehem” Advent Sermon Series
December 1 “Great Expectations” In the Old Testament times and leading all the way to Jesus’ time, people had great expectation about the coming Messiah to deliver, restore, and bring about a glorious kingdom. Today, we can have the same great expectations about the first and second coming of Christ. Because of Bethlehem, we can have great expectations of Christ.
December 8 “Saved from Ourselves” We have a sin nature. “All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” God entered this world in Jesus to save us from our sin nature. Because of Bethlehem, we can be saved from ourselves with our sin nature.
December 15 “Brought to Worship” The angels worshiped when Christ was born. The shepherds worshiped, glorifying God for all they had seen and heard. The Wise Men came and bowed down and worshiped Christ. Because of Bethlehem, we are brought to worship.
December 22 “Hold It Together” Interruptions come with Christmas and with life in general. Such interruptions can stir fear and anxiety and even affect our relationship with God. We cannot face a crisis if we don’t face God first. Because of Bethlehem, we are assured that God holds it all together so we can.
December 24 “God Has a Face” Jesus entered our world not like a human, but as a human. With this, God wants us to know that He gets us. He understands how we feel and can relate to the challenges we face in life. Because of Bethlehem, we can “see” the face of God.
December 29 “Every Day a Christmas” The story of Christmas is the story of God’s relentless love for us. God became one of us so we could become one with Him. These truths are to be lived out in our daily life. Because of Bethlehem, every day can be a Christmas.
