All I Want For Christmas
December 10, 2023 / Jared DouglasWhy you can always have the gift of hope because of the gift of Jesus:
1. God’s Ever-Present Presence is With You!
“Fear not, for I am with you; Be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, Yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.” Isaiah 41:10
“Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.” Psalm 23:4
“Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence? If I go to the heavens, you are there; If I make my bed in the depths, you are there. If I rise on the wings of the dawn, If I settle on the far side of the sea, even there your right hand will guide me, Your right hand will hold me fast.” Psalm 139:7-10
“God has said, never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.” Hebrews 13:5
2. God’s Greater Purpose is Working in You!
“But the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary; you have found favor with God. You will conceive and give birth to a son, and you are to call him Jesus.” Luke 1:30-31
“We know that God causes all things to work together for good for those who love God and are called according to His purpose.” Romans 8:28
