Tom Claibourne's sermon preached on December 12th, 2021 at Bethlehem Church of Christ in Winchester, OH.


Outline:

I. Don't forget what a "holiday" is.

  • "A day intended to be special and different, as a time of remembrance and honor."
    • Bible Festivals (Deut. 16)
    • Praise (16:1, 10-11, 15)
    • Remembering (Ex. 12:24-27)
    • Joy (Deut. 16:10-11, 13-15)
    • Giving (Deut. 16:10, 16, 17)

      • II. Don't be afraid of "Christmas."

      III. Don't miss the symbols.

      • Lights (John 8:12; 10:22; Luke 2:8-9)
      • Star (Matt. 2:2; 9-10; Rev. 22:16)
      • Gifts (Matt. 2:11; James 1:17; John 3:16)
      • Evergreen tree (Hosea 14:8)
      • Candy cane (John 10; Isaiah 53)

        • IV. Don't lose your focus: Jesus! (Luke 1, 2; I Cor. 10:31; Col. 3:17)

        What will you find this Christmas? It depends on where your heart is.
