Message Points
A WEARY WORLD REJOICES
You’re Still Invited
Luke 2:1-20
Christmas Capitalizes on the Underwhelming (Luke 2:1-5)
- The Paradox of Christmas: It does not find us in Extraordinary It finds us in Everyday Moments.
Christmas Invites the Uninvited (Luke 2:6-14; 1 John 4:9-10)
- The Perspective of Christmas: It’s not about Us inviting God into Our Story. It’s about God inviting Us into His Story.
Christmas Focuses on the Unimportant (Luke 2:15-16)
- The Posture of Christmas: It’s not about Standing on the Foundation of Our Accomplishments. It’s about Kneeling at the Foot of Immanuel’s Manger.
Christmas Inspires the Uninspired (Luke 2:17-20; John 1:4-5)
- The Plan of Christmas: We are Seen. We See. We are Sent.
