00:00:08.324 --> 00:00:17.567
Hey, family is pastor tim timberlake of celebration
00:00:17.567 --> 00:00:20.070
Church, and i want to wish you a very merry christmas.
00:00:20.070 --> 00:00:23.039
I pray that you've had a moment in time to spend some time
00:00:23.039 --> 00:00:27.110
With the lord, reflecting on his grace,
00:00:27.110 --> 00:00:28.945
His mercy, and the gift of life that he's given you.
00:00:28.945 --> 00:00:32.582
I want us to go into the word of god
00:00:32.582 --> 00:00:34.050
Today, as we're in this holiday season,
00:00:34.050 --> 00:00:35.785
One that i believe is fitting for you
00:00:35.785 --> 00:00:37.353
In the season of life you may find yourself in.
00:00:37.353 --> 00:00:39.956
Entitled the wonder of his majesty in a manger.
00:00:39.956 --> 00:00:43.326
Let's be blessed by the word of god and let's glean from it
00:00:43.326 --> 00:00:45.929
Everything that god has for us.
00:00:45.929 --> 00:00:48.298
Every promise and proclamation
00:00:48.998 --> 00:00:51.000
That has been given to us, and it will not return unto him
00:00:51.000 --> 00:00:54.637
Void.
00:00:54.871 --> 00:00:56.139
Every word that god has given you will and shall come to pass.
00:00:56.139 --> 00:01:00.577
In order for us to understand god,
00:01:00.577 --> 00:01:02.278
We have to understand that he is both the alpha and the omega.
00:01:02.278 --> 00:01:06.015
He understands the ending.
00:01:06.015 --> 00:01:07.917
Before he even begin, your beginning, in order
00:01:07.917 --> 00:01:10.887
For us to understand god, we have to understand
00:01:10.887 --> 00:01:13.923
That heaven is his throne and earth is his footstool.
00:01:13.923 --> 00:01:18.261
I've had the opportunity to travel
00:01:18.261 --> 00:01:19.996
To some very beautiful places here on earth,
00:01:19.996 --> 00:01:22.398
But none of them compared to the splendor and the majesty
00:01:22.398 --> 00:01:26.369
That our father is experiencing in the heavenlies right now.
00:01:26.369 --> 00:01:30.240
And he says, you need what i have.
00:01:30.240 --> 00:01:33.109
I don't desire for you
00:01:33.109 --> 00:01:34.277
Just to hear and read about this heaven.
00:01:34.277 --> 00:01:37.380
I want you to experience it on earth.
00:01:37.380 --> 00:01:39.983
But you can't experience me until you experience my son.
00:01:39.983 --> 00:01:44.621
Jesus says in text.
00:01:44.621 --> 00:01:46.122
The only way to the father is through me.
00:01:46.122 --> 00:01:49.759
There are not many ways to god.
00:01:49.759 --> 00:01:51.828
There is one, and his name is jesus.
00:01:51.828 --> 00:01:55.865
God, understanding this because he is a loving father,
00:01:55.865 --> 00:01:59.335
Gave us the most precious gift that we could ever receive,
00:01:59.335 --> 00:02:04.107
And he
00:02:04.307 --> 00:02:04.941
Sent him to us in the form
00:02:04.941 --> 00:02:09.379
Of a baby.
00:02:09.679 --> 00:02:11.781
Now, if i were a king,
00:02:11.781 --> 00:02:15.852
I would not want to arrive in swaddling clothes.
00:02:15.852 --> 00:02:19.689
If i were a king, i would want to arrive in a fashionable way.
00:02:19.689 --> 00:02:24.627
Chariots and horses and and a robe and a crown and
00:02:24.627 --> 00:02:29.065
And all these variations of what i define
00:02:29.065 --> 00:02:33.336
As royalty, but not our king of kings.
00:02:33.336 --> 00:02:36.873
He said, the way you will identify me is not by my robe,
00:02:36.873 --> 00:02:41.344
And it's not by the gold, and it's not by the rubies
00:02:41.344 --> 00:02:44.714
And the emeralds and the diamonds.
00:02:44.714 --> 00:02:46.683
It's by my humility.
00:02:46.683 --> 00:02:49.886
If you're taking notes tonight, i want you to see this
00:02:50.920 --> 00:02:54.390
Point. number one.
00:02:54.824 --> 00:02:55.625
Is this.
00:02:55.625 --> 00:02:57.560
When god speaks,
00:02:57.560 --> 00:03:00.063
God doesn't just merely speak possibilities.
00:03:00.063 --> 00:03:03.099
He declares inevitabilities.
00:03:03.666 --> 00:03:06.202
This king was promised to us,
00:03:06.836 --> 00:03:10.640
According to isaiah chapter nine verse six, for unto us
00:03:10.640 --> 00:03:14.777
A son is given, and the government shall rest
00:03:14.777 --> 00:03:18.514
On his shoulders.
00:03:18.514 --> 00:03:22.852
This promise is not merely
00:03:23.419 --> 00:03:27.323
A possibility.
00:03:27.657 --> 00:03:30.426
It is a declaration that would become inevitable,
00:03:30.426 --> 00:03:34.430
Because god knew that we could not save ourselves.
00:03:34.430 --> 00:03:37.900
He understood that although we would try,
00:03:38.735 --> 00:03:40.937
We could not fix ourselves.
00:03:40.937 --> 00:03:43.506
No matter how good we are and how good we think
00:03:43.506 --> 00:03:47.076
We are in our own nature, we are still flawed and broken
00:03:47.076 --> 00:03:52.582
As humanity, and we are in dire need of a savior.
00:03:52.582 --> 00:03:56.686
And so when god speaks,
00:03:56.686 --> 00:03:58.554
He does not merely speak in possibilities.
00:03:58.554 --> 00:04:01.891
He declares inevitabilities.
00:04:01.891 --> 00:04:06.696
I'm so thankful
00:04:07.063 --> 00:04:10.133
That the savior was not a maybe.
00:04:10.133 --> 00:04:13.569
It wasn't just a possibility.
00:04:14.203 --> 00:04:17.006
It was a proclamation, a prophecy
00:04:17.006 --> 00:04:19.609
That would come to pass despite all
00:04:19.609 --> 00:04:23.346
Of the efforts of the enemy.
00:04:23.346 --> 00:04:26.149
And when you think about love,
00:04:26.749 --> 00:04:29.319
And when you think about how much your father loves you,
00:04:29.319 --> 00:04:33.156
I want you to view it tonight through the lens
00:04:34.123 --> 00:04:36.759
Of this incredible gift he's giving you in jesus christ.
00:04:36.759 --> 00:04:41.564
And so long before jesus arrived,
00:04:42.265 --> 00:04:45.368
He was promised as the king who would carry the weight
00:04:45.368 --> 00:04:49.072
Of the world and establish a kingdom
00:04:49.072 --> 00:04:52.775
Of peace.
00:04:53.076 --> 00:04:55.978
Family.
00:04:55.978 --> 00:04:56.913
God's promises aren't just predictions.
00:04:56.913 --> 00:04:59.749
They're proclamations.
00:05:00.216 --> 00:05:01.651
Waiting
00:05:01.651 --> 00:05:03.486
For the right moment.
00:05:03.486 --> 00:05:05.855
And i wonder tonight, what has god
00:05:05.855 --> 00:05:08.157
Proclaimed in your life?
00:05:08.157 --> 00:05:11.194
What is god declared in your life?
00:05:11.194 --> 00:05:14.430
What words are you clinging on to
00:05:14.430 --> 00:05:16.766
Tonight that you have not seen, unveiled, or unfold?
00:05:16.766 --> 00:05:20.470
But they have been spoken
00:05:20.470 --> 00:05:21.971
Out of the mouth of god and received in your heart.
00:05:21.971 --> 00:05:24.841
Therefore, you can take it to the bank that it will,
00:05:24.841 --> 00:05:29.512
And it shall come to pass.
00:05:29.512 --> 00:05:35.051
So just as god promised
00:05:35.585 --> 00:05:38.554
That a savior would come, every word
00:05:38.554 --> 00:05:41.824
That god has promised you,
00:05:41.824 --> 00:05:45.061
It will happen.
00:05:45.061 --> 00:05:46.896
And god's timing.
00:05:46.896 --> 00:05:49.866
The good news of the gospel of jesus christ
00:05:49.866 --> 00:05:53.069
Is that no word from god will ever fail.
00:05:53.936 --> 00:05:59.642
Some of us in this room
00:06:00.143 --> 00:06:01.611
And watching online tonight and.
00:06:01.611 --> 00:06:05.515
We think that god
00:06:05.948 --> 00:06:08.651
Is like church.
00:06:08.651 --> 00:06:11.254
God is not like church
00:06:11.254 --> 00:06:13.823
Because church is full of people who are flawed.
00:06:13.823 --> 00:06:17.226
God has no flaws.
00:06:17.226 --> 00:06:19.695
Guess what?
00:06:19.695 --> 00:06:20.763
God is not even like the people who represent him.
00:06:20.763 --> 00:06:24.734
He's better.
00:06:25.067 --> 00:06:27.603
God is not like your earthly parents.
00:06:27.603 --> 00:06:30.139
He teaches us that if your earthly parents,
00:06:30.139 --> 00:06:33.109
Being evil, still do good things for you,
00:06:33.109 --> 00:06:35.678
How much more do i want to do for you?
00:06:35.678 --> 00:06:39.081
So when we think of the promise of god,
00:06:39.882 --> 00:06:42.485
No matter what our current realities are, we can always
00:06:42.485 --> 00:06:45.888
Go back to the word and agree with that word with yes.
00:06:45.888 --> 00:06:50.460
And amen.
00:06:50.760 --> 00:06:53.930
I'm so thankful that the promise of god was not a
00:06:54.931 --> 00:06:57.467
Maybe when it came to his son jesus,
00:06:57.467 --> 00:06:59.435
But the promise of god was fulfilled
00:06:59.435 --> 00:07:01.804
When the angel of the lord appeared
00:07:01.804 --> 00:07:03.272
To mary and said, mary, behold, you are with child,
00:07:03.272 --> 00:07:06.375
And this child will save not only you,
00:07:06.375 --> 00:07:09.479
But everyone that receives him as their savior.
00:07:09.479 --> 00:07:13.416
And i wonder tonight,
00:07:13.416 --> 00:07:14.584
Is anybody thankful that jesus did not remain in heaven?
00:07:14.584 --> 00:07:18.120
But he came here to earth in the form of a baby
00:07:18.120 --> 00:07:21.991
Wrapped in swaddling clothes.
00:07:22.625 --> 00:07:28.030
Teaching us the true meaning
00:07:28.631 --> 00:07:32.034
Of what kingship is.
00:07:32.034 --> 00:07:35.938
In matthew chapter two,
00:07:36.439 --> 00:07:39.308
Verse 11.
00:07:39.308 --> 00:07:42.745
It says, and going into the house
00:07:43.479 --> 00:07:45.381
They saw this child with mary, his mother,
00:07:45.381 --> 00:07:48.885
And they fell down,
00:07:49.352 --> 00:07:51.587
And they worshiped him.
00:07:51.587 --> 00:07:54.423
The beauty of this text and the promise of god,
00:07:54.423 --> 00:07:58.094
Point number
00:07:58.394 --> 00:07:59.362
Two is true royalty doesn't flaunt power.
00:07:59.362 --> 00:08:02.765
It wraps it in humility to reveal its purpose.
00:08:02.765 --> 00:08:06.969
When you have power
00:08:07.436 --> 00:08:09.105
Given to you by jesus, you don't have to flaunt it.
00:08:09.105 --> 00:08:12.174
You don't have to brag about it.
00:08:12.808 --> 00:08:14.944
You don't boast in your own ability
00:08:14.944 --> 00:08:16.746
And your own efforts and your own resources.
00:08:16.746 --> 00:08:19.749
You boast in the fact that if it had not been
00:08:19.749 --> 00:08:22.585
For the sacrifice that jesus made for you,
00:08:22.585 --> 00:08:25.321
You would have been bound for hell.
00:08:25.321 --> 00:08:27.123
But he saw fit
00:08:27.123 --> 00:08:28.291
To lay his life down so that you could have a life
00:08:28.291 --> 00:08:31.327
And a life worth living.
00:08:31.327 --> 00:08:33.229
And that is the greatest gift
00:08:33.229 --> 00:08:36.432
That we could ever receive.
00:08:36.432 --> 00:08:40.169
And so true royalty.
00:08:40.636 --> 00:08:41.904
It doesn't flaunt power.
00:08:41.904 --> 00:08:44.840
It wraps it in humility
00:08:44.840 --> 00:08:47.376
To reveal its god given purpose.
00:08:47.376 --> 00:08:51.881
The king of kings
00:08:52.315 --> 00:08:53.449
Throne began as a manger,
00:08:53.449 --> 00:08:56.552
Proving to humanity that humility.
00:08:56.552 --> 00:09:00.556
It changes everything.
00:09:01.023 --> 00:09:04.694
What?
00:09:04.927 --> 00:09:05.461
Tonight in your life
00:09:05.461 --> 00:09:07.563
Needs to better reflect the humility
00:09:07.563 --> 00:09:09.665
Of jesus christ.
00:09:09.665 --> 00:09:13.235
What decisions do you need to make
00:09:13.235 --> 00:09:16.639
That would bring you closer to the humility
00:09:16.639 --> 00:09:18.708
That jesus lived his life with?
00:09:18.708 --> 00:09:21.844
Now, i want us to think about this for a moment.
00:09:21.844 --> 00:09:25.448
Because the king of kings and the lord of lords,
00:09:26.415 --> 00:09:28.484
He could have did whatever he wanted to.
00:09:28.484 --> 00:09:32.054
He could have arrived however
00:09:32.054 --> 00:09:34.290
He saw fit, but he chose to come
00:09:34.290 --> 00:09:37.660
Into the picture of humanity
00:09:37.660 --> 00:09:41.097
Wrapped in swaddling clothes
00:09:41.697 --> 00:09:44.567
And a manger,
00:09:44.567 --> 00:09:46.535
Demonstrating to us what true royalty looks like,
00:09:46.535 --> 00:09:50.206
Demonstrating to us that true power, true
00:09:51.107 --> 00:09:54.276
Authority, does not need to boast within itself.
00:09:54.276 --> 00:10:01.083
Jesus
00:10:01.317 --> 00:10:03.719
Could have arrived on the scene splitting the clouds
00:10:03.719 --> 00:10:06.355
The first time he came to earth.
00:10:06.355 --> 00:10:10.393
In the form of a man,
00:10:10.893 --> 00:10:11.994
He chose to come in the form of a baby.
00:10:11.994 --> 00:10:15.431
I asked him this question last night when we were sitting
00:10:15.431 --> 00:10:17.667
At the table.
00:10:17.667 --> 00:10:18.968
Jesus, being all god and all men,
00:10:18.968 --> 00:10:22.138
Having the ability to do whatever he desire
00:10:22.138 --> 00:10:24.874
To do, having all power in his hand, still operated
00:10:24.874 --> 00:10:27.943
In humility enough to act like he could not talk as a baby.
00:10:27.943 --> 00:10:36.919
Just because we find in scripture
00:10:37.586 --> 00:10:39.789
The first miracle recorded with him,
00:10:39.789 --> 00:10:41.891
Turning water into wine does not mean that
00:10:41.891 --> 00:10:44.126
That was the first miracle that jesus performed.
00:10:44.126 --> 00:10:48.631
When did jesus discover
00:10:49.165 --> 00:10:50.666
He was able to do miracles?
00:10:50.666 --> 00:10:54.870
No one knows.
00:10:55.237 --> 00:10:56.305
But i have to believe that this miracle working
00:10:56.305 --> 00:10:59.842
Power was already given to him when he entered into the earth.
00:10:59.842 --> 00:11:04.680
And jesus, being all
00:11:05.114 --> 00:11:07.016
Man and all, god, probably did what most kids do.
00:11:07.016 --> 00:11:11.187
Experimented with the supernatural powers
00:11:11.187 --> 00:11:14.256
That his father had given him.
00:11:14.256 --> 00:11:17.159
Do you know the type of humility it takes to not boast
00:11:17.159 --> 00:11:20.796
In the fact that you have all power?
00:11:20.796 --> 00:11:25.000
Do you know
00:11:25.334 --> 00:11:26.202
The type of humility it takes to boast
00:11:26.202 --> 00:11:29.138
Or to not boast in the fact that you can walk on water?
00:11:29.138 --> 00:11:33.109
Think about this for a moment.
00:11:33.709 --> 00:11:34.777
If your child had the ability to walk on water,
00:11:34.777 --> 00:11:38.447
If your grandkids had the ability
00:11:38.447 --> 00:11:40.049
To walk on water.
00:11:40.049 --> 00:11:43.452
Would they hide it
00:11:43.452 --> 00:11:44.854
From all of humanity until their 30s?
00:11:44.854 --> 00:11:47.957
I know i wouldn't.
00:11:47.957 --> 00:11:51.327
As a matter of fact, before
00:11:51.927 --> 00:11:53.162
I even walk on land, i'm sure my parents i can walk on water.
00:11:53.162 --> 00:11:57.433
Three months old before
00:11:57.933 --> 00:11:59.101
I took my first steps on dirt, i'm walking on water.
00:11:59.101 --> 00:12:03.139
But that's why i am not the savior.
00:12:03.873 --> 00:12:06.909
Because god understood we could not handle
00:12:07.777 --> 00:12:10.079
That type of power, but jesus could.
00:12:10.079 --> 00:12:13.249
Scripture teaches us all power was in his hand,
00:12:13.249 --> 00:12:17.119
But he chose humility
00:12:17.119 --> 00:12:20.222
And family.
00:12:20.556 --> 00:12:21.624
I want us to understand this the king's humility.
00:12:21.624 --> 00:12:23.759
It was not weakness.
00:12:23.759 --> 00:12:25.027
It was wisdom wrapped in love because he had to demonstrate
00:12:25.027 --> 00:12:29.565
What true power was by allowing us to see
00:12:29.565 --> 00:12:32.802
And read what truth humility was.
00:12:32.802 --> 00:12:35.871
And scripture teaches us that jesus, the king of kings,
00:12:35.871 --> 00:12:38.374
The lord of lords, the alpha and the omega,
00:12:38.374 --> 00:12:40.109
The one who started unfinished, you, he was tempted
00:12:40.109 --> 00:12:43.445
With all things, which means he was also tempted with power.
00:12:43.445 --> 00:12:46.816
And he still chose humility.
00:12:46.816 --> 00:12:50.820
I believe he chose this because he wanted us to see
00:12:51.821 --> 00:12:54.223
That the greatest victories are born in humility,
00:12:54.223 --> 00:12:59.195
And the king of kings,
00:12:59.662 --> 00:13:02.631
He was born into the world
00:13:02.631 --> 00:13:05.568
In a low place so that he could raise us up
00:13:05.568 --> 00:13:10.072
To be joint heirs with him.
00:13:10.673 --> 00:13:13.576
Point number three is this the king's reign?
00:13:13.576 --> 00:13:17.246
It's not bound by borders or time, because his kingdom
00:13:17.246 --> 00:13:21.150
Is established in the eternal hearts
00:13:21.150 --> 00:13:24.486
Of his people.
00:13:24.486 --> 00:13:27.089
I want us to look at this verse,
00:13:27.089 --> 00:13:28.858
Isaiah chapter nine, verse seven.
00:13:28.858 --> 00:13:32.895
It says to us of the increase of his government and the peace.
00:13:32.895 --> 00:13:36.165
There will be no end.
00:13:36.165 --> 00:13:39.401
And on the throne of david and over his kingdom,
00:13:39.401 --> 00:13:43.205
This government and this peace, it will have no end.
00:13:43.205 --> 00:13:47.910
So the borders of the kingdom of jesus
00:13:47.910 --> 00:13:51.413
Don't have boundaries.
00:13:51.413 --> 00:13:54.416
They live in the hearts of humanity.
00:13:54.416 --> 00:13:58.554
In john chapter 18, verse 36,
00:13:59.188 --> 00:14:02.224
He says, my kingdom is not of this world.
00:14:02.224 --> 00:14:06.061
If my kingdom were of this world, my servants
00:14:06.061 --> 00:14:09.665
Would have been fighting.
00:14:10.232 --> 00:14:13.002
The big idea of this passage is that
00:14:13.002 --> 00:14:15.638
He is not limited to our limitations.
00:14:15.638 --> 00:14:18.707
He is not bound to our boundaries.
00:14:18.707 --> 00:14:20.876
His perspective goes far beyond ours, and his miracle
00:14:20.876 --> 00:14:24.947
Working power and ability supersedes our ability
00:14:24.947 --> 00:14:28.317
To rationalize what he is doing.
00:14:28.317 --> 00:14:30.352
So simply put, we cannot box jesus in to the limitations
00:14:30.352 --> 00:14:34.590
That we perceive him to be,
00:14:34.590 --> 00:14:37.593
And he will lift up
00:14:37.593 --> 00:14:40.195
To every expectation you have of him,
00:14:40.195 --> 00:14:44.166
Or to the little expectations you make of him.
00:14:44.166 --> 00:14:49.605
The jesus you see
00:14:50.039 --> 00:14:52.574
Is the jesus you get,
00:14:52.574 --> 00:14:55.377
And if you want, jesus is confined to your reality.
00:14:55.377 --> 00:14:59.014
Then his miracle working power in your life
00:14:59.915 --> 00:15:02.217
Will be limited to what you currently see.
00:15:02.217 --> 00:15:05.688
But if the jesus you see has no power, it has no end.
00:15:05.688 --> 00:15:08.824
It's all powerful knowing
00:15:08.824 --> 00:15:10.559
The end from the beginning and knowing how your story ends.
00:15:10.559 --> 00:15:14.530
Then he continues
00:15:14.530 --> 00:15:15.564
To write something so beautiful
00:15:15.564 --> 00:15:17.366
Beyond your ability to control it.
00:15:17.366 --> 00:15:19.301
And i truly believe that's what he desires to do.
00:15:19.301 --> 00:15:24.340
Give you a life
00:15:24.707 --> 00:15:26.709
That's far out of your control
00:15:26.709 --> 00:15:29.345
So that you can't take credit for it.
00:15:29.345 --> 00:15:32.715
I don't know what a lot of us would love to.
00:15:33.615 --> 00:15:36.752
But jesus won't bless you with anything
00:15:37.619 --> 00:15:41.056
That you can take the credit for.
00:15:41.056 --> 00:15:44.126
That's why salvation is so unique
00:15:44.126 --> 00:15:45.995
And one of the greatest gifts given to us by our savior.
00:15:45.995 --> 00:15:49.398
Another great gift given to us is his spirit.
00:15:49.398 --> 00:15:52.601
He gives us these gifts that we cannot give ourselves
00:15:53.669 --> 00:15:56.438
Because he understands
00:15:56.438 --> 00:15:57.773
That if we are left up to our own mechanisms
00:15:57.773 --> 00:16:00.809
And our own ideas and our own thoughts,
00:16:00.809 --> 00:16:03.012
We would try to control the narrative.
00:16:03.012 --> 00:16:05.547
So he takes the pen out of our hand,
00:16:05.547 --> 00:16:07.983
And he continues to write.
00:16:07.983 --> 00:16:11.387
That's why he leaves us with scriptures
00:16:11.387 --> 00:16:13.389
That says, my ways are higher than your ways.
00:16:13.389 --> 00:16:16.025
My thoughts and plans are higher
00:16:16.025 --> 00:16:17.826
Than your thoughts and plans, because if they were not,
00:16:17.826 --> 00:16:20.362
We would be limited to what we think.
00:16:20.362 --> 00:16:22.297
And i'm so glad that our lives are not limited to
00:16:22.297 --> 00:16:25.434
Our limited thought patterns and processes.
00:16:25.434 --> 00:16:28.737
Aren't you?
00:16:28.737 --> 00:16:36.779
And so scripture
00:16:37.179 --> 00:16:37.980
Teaches us that kings reign
00:16:37.980 --> 00:16:41.784
Is limitless
00:16:42.117 --> 00:16:44.553
Because his kingdom
00:16:44.553 --> 00:16:47.423
Is eternal.
00:16:47.423 --> 00:16:50.159
And the great thing about this king that was born in a manger
00:16:50.159 --> 00:16:54.396
Wrapped in swaddling clothes, he did not remain as a baby.
00:16:54.396 --> 00:16:59.001
Scripture teaches us
00:16:59.001 --> 00:17:00.302
He grew and he matured, and he became a man.
00:17:00.302 --> 00:17:04.106
And he served the will of his fa
00:17:04.106 --> 00:17:09.978
Buried and resurrected for us.
00:17:10.612 --> 00:17:15.150
So as we celebrate
00:17:15.584 --> 00:17:19.354
This god child.
00:17:19.755 --> 00:17:23.058
May we celebrate the totality of his life,
00:17:23.058 --> 00:17:26.428
Not just the mere fact that he was born,
00:17:27.262 --> 00:17:29.131
But the fact that he was born.
00:17:29.131 --> 00:17:33.001
That he grew with the expectation and anticipation
00:17:33.001 --> 00:17:36.238
To make the ultimate sacrifice for you and for me.
00:17:36.238 --> 00:17:40.843
That he went to the whipping post
00:17:41.577 --> 00:17:43.045
With you on his mind and
00:17:43.045 --> 00:17:46.682
That he took the crown of thorns
00:17:46.682 --> 00:17:48.584
On his head with your face
00:17:48.584 --> 00:17:52.020
At the forefront of his mind.
00:17:52.020 --> 00:17:55.457
Every lash that he took, he did so for you,
00:17:55.457 --> 00:17:58.961
Taking it for our sickness, our sorrows, and our sins.
00:17:58.961 --> 00:18:03.165
Nailing them to the cross,
00:18:03.732 --> 00:18:05.634
Being pushed to his side so that we wouldn't have to.
00:18:05.634 --> 00:18:09.838
Being buried.
00:18:10.205 --> 00:18:11.807
Going to hell. stealing
00:18:11.807 --> 00:18:14.376
Every key that
00:18:14.710 --> 00:18:15.677
The enemy had stolen from us.
00:18:15.677 --> 00:18:18.981
Taking the power of death
00:18:19.548 --> 00:18:22.217
So that we can boldly say, o death, where's your sting,
00:18:22.217 --> 00:18:26.021
O grave, where is your victory?
00:18:26.655 --> 00:18:29.791
And stand in the boldness and the confidence
00:18:29.791 --> 00:18:33.095
That our heavenly father loves us so much that he gave us
00:18:33.095 --> 00:18:36.798
This incredible gift we call jesus.
00:18:37.533 --> 00:18:42.538
Revelations chapter 19, verse 16.
00:18:43.305 --> 00:18:45.874
It doesn't just leave us with the story that jesus was born.
00:18:45.874 --> 00:18:49.778
It doesn't even put a period on the fact
00:18:50.646 --> 00:18:52.447
That jesus died.
00:18:52.447 --> 00:18:55.951
Scripture
00:18:56.251 --> 00:18:57.219
Tells us in revelation chapter 19, verse 16,
00:18:57.219 --> 00:19:00.589
And on his robe and on his thigh
00:19:00.589 --> 00:19:04.126
He has a name written
00:19:04.626 --> 00:19:06.695
King of kings and lord of lords.
00:19:06.695 --> 00:19:10.832
The good news of this king
00:19:11.400 --> 00:19:14.670
Is not abdicated his throne.
00:19:14.670 --> 00:19:17.472
He is not absent.
00:19:17.472 --> 00:19:19.541
He is as close to
00:19:19.975 --> 00:19:21.109
You as your own breath.
00:19:21.109 --> 00:19:24.846
Scripture says, who is this tool of glory?
00:19:24.846 --> 00:19:28.116
The lord god almighty.
00:19:28.584 --> 00:19:31.453
He is a mighty god.
00:19:31.453 --> 00:19:34.056
I said, he is a mighty god.
00:19:34.056 --> 00:19:42.064
And so i'll close with this thought.
00:19:42.864 --> 00:19:46.335
The king has not just come
00:19:46.902 --> 00:19:50.472
As a child wrapped in swaddling clothes.
00:19:50.472 --> 00:19:53.875
He didn't just die.
00:19:53.875 --> 00:19:56.812
It wasn't just bury.
00:19:56.812 --> 00:20:00.515
It. and just raised from the dead.
00:20:00.515 --> 00:20:02.884
Ascend to heaven without a plan.
00:20:02.884 --> 00:20:05.954
According to revelations,
00:20:06.521 --> 00:20:07.823
Chapter 19, verse 16, this king.
00:20:07.823 --> 00:20:11.727
The return of the king.
00:20:12.261 --> 00:20:13.695
It's not the end,
00:20:13.695 --> 00:20:16.565
But it is the beginning of all things new.
00:20:16.565 --> 00:20:22.137
And when we think
00:20:22.571 --> 00:20:24.273
About the newness of this king.
00:20:24.273 --> 00:20:27.976
That is the true
00:20:28.343 --> 00:20:29.978
Meaning of christmas,
00:20:29.978 --> 00:20:32.514
That he can take everything that the devil meant for evil
00:20:32.514 --> 00:20:35.284
And make it work together
00:20:35.284 --> 00:20:36.785
For the good of those that love the lord.
00:20:36.785 --> 00:20:38.720
What precious gift do we have in him?
00:20:38.720 --> 00:20:43.091
The song that we
00:20:43.492 --> 00:20:45.527
Used to sing is what a friend
00:20:45.527 --> 00:20:47.629
We have in jesus.
00:20:47.629 --> 00:20:51.600
The savior that saw fit
00:20:52.100 --> 00:20:53.802
To save us from ourselves.
00:20:53.802 --> 00:20:57.039
To heal us because we didn't have the power to do so.
00:20:57.039 --> 00:20:59.808
To deliver us,
00:20:59.808 --> 00:21:00.575
Because we didn't have the wisdom
00:21:00.575 --> 00:21:01.977
And the know how to do so, and to set us free.
00:21:01.977 --> 00:21:04.846
That we could not free ourselves from the chains
00:21:04.846 --> 00:21:08.850
That in shackled us.
00:21:08.850 --> 00:21:11.720
This christmas eve,
00:21:11.720 --> 00:21:14.189
My prayer.
00:21:14.189 --> 00:21:17.225
Is that we would not just make room under a tree,
00:21:17.225 --> 00:21:20.429
That we would make room in our hearts
00:21:21.229 --> 00:21:24.366
For what he desires to do.
00:21:24.366 --> 00:21:27.102
The plans and the purpose he desires for our lives.
00:21:27.102 --> 00:21:31.006
This king of kings is greater
00:21:31.640 --> 00:21:33.642
Than we could ever realize.
00:21:33.642 --> 00:21:36.778
His power is greater than we could ever fathom,
00:21:36.778 --> 00:21:40.982
And his grace
00:21:41.350 --> 00:21:43.919
Is better than we could ever
00:21:43.919 --> 00:21:46.321
Imagine.
00:21:46.321 --> 00:21:48.824
This king that i talk of tonight.
00:21:48.824 --> 00:21:51.960
He held no degrees
00:21:51.960 --> 00:21:54.396
Yet they called him teacher.
00:21:54.396 --> 00:21:57.599
He owned no servants, yet they called him master.
00:21:57.599 --> 00:22:00.969
He carried no medicine, yet they called him the healer.
00:22:02.104 --> 00:22:05.874
Rulers feared his authority,
00:22:06.475 --> 00:22:08.176
But children embraced his love.
00:22:08.176 --> 00:22:11.246
He commanded no armies that he conquered the world.
00:22:11.246 --> 00:22:15.050
He broke no laws.
00:22:15.484 --> 00:22:16.918
That they nailed him to a cross in his deepest agony.
00:22:16.918 --> 00:22:20.589
His heart was set on one thing.
00:22:20.589 --> 00:22:23.091
It was set on you
00:22:23.091 --> 00:22:26.728
And his last breath.
00:22:27.162 --> 00:22:28.296
He gave up his spirit.
00:22:28.296 --> 00:22:31.533
The sun set.
00:22:31.833 --> 00:22:34.336
Casting the world into darkness.
00:22:34.336 --> 00:22:37.806
The earth groaned, shaking violently into rocks
00:22:37.806 --> 00:22:41.109
Split apart.
00:22:41.109 --> 00:22:41.910
And the veil of the temple
00:22:41.910 --> 00:22:43.412
Tore from top to bottom, opening heaven's presence to all.
00:22:43.412 --> 00:22:48.383
So as
00:22:48.617 --> 00:22:49.451
We talk about this king of glory,
00:22:49.451 --> 00:22:52.053
May we make much of his presence
00:22:52.053 --> 00:22:55.657
As the priority of our lives and not the
00:22:55.657 --> 00:22:59.561
Priority of the present under our christmas tree.
00:22:59.561 --> 00:23:02.731
As we talk about this king,
00:23:03.331 --> 00:23:05.734
May we make much of his name
00:23:05.734 --> 00:23:08.737
And not much of the various names of the various things
00:23:08.737 --> 00:23:12.874
That we have purchased
00:23:12.874 --> 00:23:14.142
And that we will give away this christmas.
00:23:14.142 --> 00:23:16.344
When we talk about this king, may we stand in awe
00:23:16.344 --> 00:23:20.315
And wonder of the sacrifice he made knowingly
00:23:20.315 --> 00:23:24.553
Coming into this earth,
00:23:24.553 --> 00:23:26.188
Taking all sin, sickness, and sorrow on his shoulders,
00:23:26.188 --> 00:23:30.425
Seeing us and doing us, and knowing that he would have
00:23:30.425 --> 00:23:34.296
To make the ultimate sacrifice for us and still choosing to.
00:23:34.296 --> 00:23:38.300
When we talk about this, king.
00:23:38.300 --> 00:23:42.304
Then we do so
00:23:42.671 --> 00:23:44.539
With the mind set in the mentality.
00:23:44.539 --> 00:23:48.143
That the king of kings.
00:23:48.643 --> 00:23:52.447
The one who we would call
00:23:53.014 --> 00:23:54.883
Wonderful counselor,
00:23:54.883 --> 00:23:57.819
Mighty god,
00:23:57.819 --> 00:24:00.288
Everlasting father,
00:24:00.288 --> 00:24:02.824
Prince of peace,
00:24:02.824 --> 00:24:05.460
Would be so majestic upon his arrival
00:24:05.460 --> 00:24:09.431
That he would be born in a manger.
00:24:10.198 --> 00:24:14.002
This king that we speak of,
00:24:14.603 --> 00:24:17.672
Majestic in his death,
00:24:17.672 --> 00:24:20.375
But triumphant in his resurrection
00:24:20.375 --> 00:24:23.478
Into the world as a baby,
00:24:23.478 --> 00:24:26.581
Being all god and all man,
00:24:27.148 --> 00:24:31.019
See more in you
00:24:31.386 --> 00:24:33.588
Than what you could ever see in your self.
00:24:33.588 --> 00:24:37.826
So when we talk about this king,
00:24:37.826 --> 00:24:40.495
May we boast in his grace.
00:24:40.495 --> 00:24:43.031
May we boast in his mercy.
00:24:43.031 --> 00:24:45.333
May we boast in his love that he has shown
00:24:45.333 --> 00:24:48.703
And share towards us.
00:24:48.703 --> 00:24:50.772
When we talk about this king, may we make much of the grace
00:24:50.772 --> 00:24:55.944
And the mercy that he has given towards us.
00:24:55.944 --> 00:25:00.348
Well, family, we're out of time for today's broadcast,
00:25:01.449 --> 00:25:04.152
But i want to encourage you to continue to join us
00:25:04.152 --> 00:25:05.987
Every single week
00:25:05.987 --> 00:25:06.988
As we continue to deliver to you the word of god.
00:25:06.988 --> 00:25:09.724
I believe that this power on the pages of the word of god,
00:25:09.724 --> 00:25:13.495
Those words
00:25:13.828 --> 00:25:14.996
Come to life when we apply them to our everyday lives.
00:25:14.996 --> 00:25:18.300
I'm so grateful
00:25:18.700 --> 00:25:19.834
That we get this opportunity to go on a journey together.
00:25:19.834 --> 00:25:22.404
My prayer is that you're being blessed
00:25:22.404 --> 00:25:23.905
By these messages and by this broadcast.
00:25:23.905 --> 00:25:26.575
If that is the case,
00:25:26.575 --> 00:25:28.076
Would you prayerfully consider partnering with us?
00:25:28.076 --> 00:25:30.645
Every contribution helps us to continue
00:25:30.645 --> 00:25:32.547
To spread the gospel of jesus christ.
00:25:32.547 --> 00:25:34.950
Whether you are in need of the gospel in your mind,
00:25:34.950 --> 00:25:38.186
Or whether you don't think that you need it.
00:25:38.186 --> 00:25:40.255
All of us need the word of god,
00:25:40.255 --> 00:25:42.424
And there are many people that are in dire
00:25:42.424 --> 00:25:43.959
Need of the word of god
00:25:43.959 --> 00:25:45.360
That may never hear the word of god
00:25:45.360 --> 00:25:47.095
Unless we contribute to broadcasts such as this.
00:25:47.095 --> 00:25:50.498
Our team is going to throw some information
00:25:50.498 --> 00:25:51.900
At the bottom of the screen.
00:25:51.900 --> 00:25:53.501
Would you scan that qr code?
00:25:53.501 --> 00:25:55.170
Write down that web address.
00:25:55.170 --> 00:25:57.072
Send in a check. send
00:25:57.072 --> 00:25:58.607
In your cash to that address at the bottom of the screen.
00:25:58.607 --> 00:26:01.409
Every single cent goes towards advancing the gospel
00:26:01.409 --> 00:26:04.279
Of jesus christ.
00:26:04.279 --> 00:26:05.914
I'm going to pray for you.
00:26:05.914 --> 00:26:07.182
Set myself in agreement with you.
00:26:07.182 --> 00:26:09.284
Believe with you for what you may be believing god for.
00:26:09.284 --> 00:26:12.420
And so, right now, in the name of jesus, i
00:26:12.420 --> 00:26:14.089
Thank you that you're able to do what we cannot.
00:26:14.089 --> 00:26:17.325
And right now, god, i know across the screen
00:26:18.226 --> 00:26:20.462
There's someone dealing with heartbreak.
00:26:20.462 --> 00:26:22.731
There's someone dealing with loneliness.
00:26:22.731 --> 00:26:24.933
There's so one god dealing with grief in this holiday season.
00:26:24.933 --> 00:26:28.803
I ask that you would do for my brother and sister
00:26:28.803 --> 00:26:30.972
What you've done for me so many times in moments like this.
00:26:30.972 --> 00:26:34.109
Take your hands.
00:26:34.476 --> 00:26:35.744
Wrap them around their hearts.
00:26:35.744 --> 00:26:37.512
Allow them to know that you're right there with them
00:26:37.512 --> 00:26:39.814
Every step of the way.
00:26:39.814 --> 00:26:41.583
And god, may they know that your presence is there.
00:26:41.583 --> 00:26:44.586
It is tangible and is real.
00:26:44.586 --> 00:26:47.222
And may they know that you love them like never before.
00:26:47.222 --> 00:26:50.225
In jesus name we pray.
00:26:50.225 --> 00:26:52.027
