  • A King Came From A Cave

    Contributed by Paul Getter on Dec 10, 2012
     | 5,263 views

    This is just a good introduction to a Christmas sermon that can be taken so many different directions. I hope it blesses and inspires you.

    Luke 2:7 And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn.

    In Galatians 5:22–23, Paul shifts to happier thoughts, saying, “But the fruit of the Spirit is …” In what follows, he gives nine characteristics of the Holy Spirit’s work in the life of a born-again believer.

    Believers are created to emulate Jesus; we are to be like him in all our ways, that is why we are being called Christians; that is, we are Christ like.

    When we put bits into the mouths of horses to make them obey us, we can turn the whole animal. 4 Or take ships as an example. Although they are so large and are driven by strong winds, they are steered by a very small rudder wherever the pilot wants to go. 5 Likewise, the tongue is a small part ...read more
