Sermon Intro
Sermon Intro
Its almost Christmas day - we’re 2 weeks out from Christmas Eve, which means that families are getting together for nice turkey or ham dinners, Kids are making snowflake crafts at school, Companies are having Christmas Parties and looking forward to Christmas bonus’s, and of course
Crazy is happening all over the place. Moms are frantically doing last minute shopping for Christmas gifts, Students are looking forward to the end of school before the break, becoming more and more agitated each passing hour, Dads are lazing about waiting for Dec 23rd and 24th to run to the mall saying I should have started shopping earlier. and kids are waiting in great anticipation to see if their Letter and requests will be answered early Christmas morning.
Have you noticed how crazy busy we get during Christmas. How frantic we become in this holiday.
I know that Christmas is about Peace on Earth and good will to those on whom god’s favour rests - but we tend not to live very peaceful lives.
Today we are going to look at the first Christmas, the event that began the greatest life ever lived, and the attitude we should have in order to make the most of Christmas.

In the sixth month of Elizabeth’s pregnancy, God sent the angel Gabriel to Nazareth, a village in Galilee,
to a virgin named Mary. She was engaged to be married to a man named Joseph, a descendant of King David.
Gabriel appeared to her and said, “Greetings, favored woman! The Lord is with you!”
Confused and disturbed, Mary tried to think what the angel could mean.
“Don’t be afraid, Mary,” the angel told her, “for you have found favor with God!
You will conceive and give birth to a son, and you will name him Jesus.
He will be very great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his ancestor David.
And he will reign over Israel forever; his Kingdom will never end!”
Mary asked the angel, “But how can this happen? I am a virgin.”
The angel replied, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. So the baby to be born will be holy, and he will be called the Son of God.
What’s more, your relative Elizabeth has become pregnant in her old age! People used to say she was barren, but she has conceived a son and is now in her sixth month.
For the word of God will never fail.”
Mary responded, “I am the Lord’s servant. May everything you have said about me come true.” And then the angel left her.
