    How do we steer through the madness of the holiday season? We can do this by recapturing a focus on the message of Christmas… to help us focus on Simply Christmas! Today, we’ll discover from Galatians 4:4-7 God’s two gifts to us at Christmas.

    I. IN CHRISTMAS, THE GIFT OF GOD IS … HIS SON. (4:4-5). We find out so much as we take the time to unwrap this present… A The Timing of the One Was Given (4:4a) B The Identity of the One Given (4:4b) 1. The Son is fully GOD (4:4a; cf. Micah 5:2; Colossians 1:15, 2:9) 2. The Son is fully HUMAN ...read more
