Sermon Notes: 


1. Unrealistic expectations

“If you always do what you’ve always done, you’ll always get what you always got”. Henry Ford

The enemy has hijacked Christmas. We get overwhelmed with stress, anxiety and frustration. We forget that this holiday is one to celebrate and honor You, Lord. Family feuds run rampant. There is little peace on earth. We forget the wondrous supernatural miracle of You sending Your only son to earth as a baby… To be God incarnate, to live alongside your people, then to ultimately sacrifice his life for us. We allow the world to define what Christmas means. Lord we confess that we have our eyes on the world…not You.

John 3:16 NIV 

2. Family Issues

James 1:19-20 NIV

1 Peter 3:8-11 NIV

Frederick Buechner: “The world says the more you take, the more you have. Christ says the more you give, the more you are.”

3. Holiday “Blues”

“If you’re going through hell, keep going” Winston Churchill

Enemy’s Lies:

  • You don’t matter… Everyone will be better off if you were gone.
  • This pain will never end… You’re always going to feel this way.
  • You’re all alone… No one cares about you.
  • If God is real, why is your life so hard?
  • What you’ve done is unforgivable. God hates you.
  • Psalm 40:1-3 NIV

    Isaiah 40:31 NIV

    Isaiah 41:10 NIV

    Psalms 3:3 ESV

    John 10:10 ESV

    Deuteronomy 31:6 ESV

    Deuteronomy 30:19 NLT
