Simply Christmas: The Birth Announcements 12/9/18

Open your Bibles to the Gospel of Luke. We are continuing our sermon series called “Simply Christmas.” We are in a chronological verse-by-verse study of the incarnation of our Lord and Savior. And we’re not adding anything to the story, we are simply learning and hearing the Christmas story as we read.

Any mom and dad will tell you that the day their child was born what is the climax of the pregnancy. It was the moment that everyone had been waiting for. But there was so much to the story BEFORE of the day that your child was born that happened that is an amazing part of the story. If you look at our modern culture and the way that pregnancies are developed, there is an exciting moment somewhere in the first six weeks of pregnancy that a new mom and dad get to experience. But Before mom and dad get to go and tell friends and family about their pregnancies they actually find out the news themselves.

I’d like you open your Bibles this morning to Luke chapter 1 is we are going to be reading a vast amount of content today from verse 5 through verse 56 and a message that I have titled: The Birth Announcements.

 

When God wants to talk to you he WILL single you out.   When God speaks, we it is our job to listen.   The improbable is always possible when God is in control.   The Child was born in the manger for one reason: To Die on the Cross.
