A Christmas Gift Indeed

December 16, 2018 • 1:00 pm

Scripture:

Speaker: Pastor Miguel Betancourt II

Series: Christmas

What draws my attention today about Christ’s birth is not the fact of the incarnation – “made of a woman,” but an expression that ends v. 4 that indicates the function of the incarnation – “made under the law.”

From that statement, three observations emerge that should impress us that in Christ, we have “A Christmas Gift Indeed.”

The Message of the Magi

Scripture: Matthew 2:1-2; 9-12

Speaker: Pastor Miguel Betancourt II

Series: Christmas

Synopsis: Although the only things recorded from their mouths is a question posed to King Herod in 2:2, we learn more from what they did, than by what they said. Their actions speak eloquently and deliver timeless truths for each one of us to receive today. From our text today, we can extract two main messages of the Magi that are timeless truths that continue to challenge us today.

The Gospel in the Trees

Speaker: Pastor Miguel Betancourt II

Synopsis: As we look at the Christmas tree today, I want us to think of it in terms of being a visual illustration, an object lesson of "The Gospel in the Trees." Today's message focuses on three trees in Scripture: the first is mentioned in the book of Genesis; the second is in Acts 5:30-32; the third is in Revelation 22:1-7.
