Christmas Stories: “Life-giving”
Key Points from the Sermon:
- When we come out of hiding, we find the life-giver. [Luke 1:39-41; Psalm 139:11-16; John 11:25-26]
- We are created to be in life-giving community.
- We are given physical life in the womb and find spiritual life through Jesus’ empty tomb.
- When we are found by the life-giver, we become life-giving. [Luke 1:41-56; 1 Samuel 10:20-22]
- God has given you spiritual gifts to be life-giving.
- Worship is “looking up” in God’s presence, which changes the present.
- Mary’s worship “play list” included these attributes of God:
- God is Lord.
- God is my Savior.
- God sees me.
- God redeems me.
- God is mighty and Holy.
- God is merciful to those who fear Him.
- God is powerful and just.
- God is generous.
- God is a helper.
