The birth of Christ was prophesied many years prior. Keep the Christmas story really about Christ.

God wants to break any and every chain that has you bound. It doesn't matter if it's been 2 weeks, 2 months, 2 years or however long it has had you bound. God can deliver you from anything, if you are willing to give it to Him.

David and Saul were both anointed of God to be king. What was the difference between the 2. Saul was full of himself and wanted to please himself and people. David was man after God's heart and wanted to please God. David repented when he messed up. Saul did not.

Part of the thing of the Corinthian church was they were too carnal. We cannot walk in the Spirit of God and please the flesh at the same time. We are going to choose one of the other. Let us choose God.

Jesus has a plan for each of us to overcome the things of this world. Becoming holy through His ways will help us to draw others near to Him.

When we have a grateful heart. God can do wonders in our lives.

King David fully put his trust and faith in God. We should learn from King David as an example of putting trust and faith in the Lord.

Paul reminds the church of Corinth to keep Christ in the center, also calls for unity among them.

Have you messed up lately? Have you really messed something up? That voice will say "It's too late now. You are worthless. Now God doesn't care for you anymore." That is a lie from hell. God loves you so much He died for you. God's love is deeper than your mess ups.

Having a heart for or after God. What does that mean? That means doing whatever pleases God, no matter what others think. It is more refreshing then trying to please this world.
