Sermon Text: James 1:17-18 (EHV)
17 Every good act of giving and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the lights, who does not change or shift like a shadow. 18 Just as he planned, he gave us birth by the word of truth so that we would be a kind of first fruits of his creations.
Sermon Theme: “Christmas Traditions” – Gift Giving
- What was the original reasons gifts were given at Christmas time?
- How much are the gifts we receive at Christmas dependent on our “performance” or on whether or not we deserve them?
- How about the greatest gift that God has given us in Jesus?
(see Romans 5:15-16 from our Scripture reading earlier)
Application: What is the “gift” God wants most of all from us?
