Christmas - Part 2

(Gal 4:3 NKJV) Even so we, when we were children, were in bondage under ...read more

The Night Before Christmas

Contributed by Michael Luke on May 29, 2016

Changed By The Spirit Of Christmas Series

Contributed by Darian Catron on Dec 15, 2021

For Ebeneezer Scrooge to change his ways, he had to be visited by three spirits. He had to be shown the ugliest and selfishness of his heart. It’s a story about transformation. That’s what sums up the Christmas Story. That’s what sums up the reason for God sending us His Son.

INTRODUCTION: Christmas time! My favorite time of year. One of my favorite Christmas stories is “A Christmas Carol” by Charles Dickens. It’s a story about a greedy, grumpy old man named Scrooge who hated Christmas and everything about it. Scrooge lived for his money, but his money brought him ...read more
