Pastor: Linda Maifair
Scriptures: John 1:1-5

Sermon from 22 December 2024

Sermon Title: “Going First”
Pastor: Doug Miller
Scriptures: Luke 2:8-20
Synopsis: For an act of grace to occur there has to be a death. When God, our heavenly Father, stepped into history to extend grace to us, he did not give us what we deserved, he gave us what we need most. It cost God everything and changed. We are to be followers of God, which means, we to are to extend grace to others as God has extended grace to us. So in your life, who is it in your mind doesn’t deserve grace but needs it more than anyone else. Remember grace has to be undeserved. It can’t be I will give you, if you give me. It is I will extend grace to you no matter what. You can receive, you can ignore it, or you can put it back in my face. It is not a transaction, I will do this for you if you do this for me. So who is it in your life, who needs grace from you this Christmas? They may or may not accept it, but it will change you and our church and our community.
