“A Time for Celebration”

“I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people.” – Luke 2:10

(1) A Time to Celebrate that God You!

9 “This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. 10 This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins.”   – 1 John 4:9-10

 “God loves you as you are, not as you should be, because none of us are as we should be.” – Brennan Manning

 (2) A Time to Celebrate that God is You!

“The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel (which means “God with us).” – Matthew 1:23

(3) A Time to Celebrate that God is You!

31 “What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? 32 He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all— how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things? 33 Who will bring any charge against those whom God has chosen? It is God who justifies. 34 Who then is the one who condemns? No one. Christ Jesus who died—more than that, who was raised to life—is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us.” – Romans 8:31-34
