Do you hear what I hear? Do you see what I see? God reveals himself in the Christmas story.

John 7

The story of Christmas is one of God honoring the Son and of us honoring God's gift to us.  Like a child honors his parents by obeying so we honor God when we obey him.  Are you bringing honor to God in how you live your life?

Matthew 2:1-12

3 ways the early Christians did not conform to the Roman world:

By deciding to follow Jesus

By caring for sick people during plagues

By martyrs praying for their killers

Beginning Steps that we can take towards nonconformity:

Daily Bible reading (Romans 12:2)

Praying for leaders (I Timothy 2:2)

Loving our neighbors without fear (Matthew 10-28-31)
