Have we given the best gift to Jesus?

........was on sermon 25 December 2006

Four gifts that God accept:
1. Luke 1:34,38 Our purity
2. Mat 1:19 Sincerity, genuineness
3. Luke 2:8 Simplicity and obedience
4. Mat 2:1 Effort to give the best like what's shown by three wise men.

The Meaning of Christmas

........was on Sermon 24 December 2006

It's written well on John 3:16

For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.

Christmas talks about God's greatest blessing, the greatest Love.
Christmas is a Celebration of Love, on Christmas day the perfect gift that we should give to others and God instead of anything else is Love, bountiful love.

The Love that is:
- unlimited
- universal
- unconditional: don't ask, give first.
- the best love
- responsible

The Always Kind God

When dealing with tough situation, we must stick to our believe that He is never away from us.

Take a look Psalm 23:1-6, from that we can learn ups and downs of life.

These are 4 situations that can be drawn from Psalm 23:1-6:
1. Good moment
Psalm 23:1.
He guide David and supplied his needs.
Psalm 23:2.
In Christianity, Lord is our Shepard and we are His sheep. Green pastures are food heaven for sheep. So this verse denotes how God provided abundant food and other necessity for David.
Psalm 23:3.
He took care of David.

2. Tough moment
Psalm 23:4

3. Elation moment
Psalm 23:5

4. Joyful moment
Psalm 23:6

Notice that that from 4 situations, God only allowed hard time to touch David once, and in that tough moment He didn't leave David at all.

What about Job? How could God let that biggest-catastrophe-ever to happen?

Hang in there....I will try to remember more today's sermon tomorrow.
