The Best Gifts
We’ve all experienced the joy of giving a "perfect" gift—the kind that makes the recipient light up and creates a memory that lasts a lifetime. But this Christmas, we’re looking past the wrapping paper to the gifts that truly define the season.
In this message, we explore the powerful offerings made by the people at the very center of the first Christmas story. From Joseph’s quiet obedience to the Magi’s kingly treasures, each gift teaches us something profound about what it means to follow Jesus today.
What Are You Giving This Year?
We often focus on what we want to receive, but the Christmas story invites us to consider what we are offering to God. Are we keeping our "treasures" guarded, or are we opening them up to the King?
In this sermon, we look at six specific gifts:
1. The Gift of Joseph – Obedience: Doing what God commands, even when it’s difficult or doesn't make sense.
2. The Gift of Mary – Available Servanthood: Giving ourselves up to God’s will, regardless of our age or status.
3. The Gift of the Magi – Our Best: Opening our "treasure boxes" and offering the most valuable parts of our lives.
4. The Gift of the Shepherds – Watchful Worship: Being intentional and proactive in our reverence for God.
5. The Gift of the Angels – Good News: Sharing the Gospel that brings great joy to all people.
6. The Gift of God – Jesus: The "indescribable gift" of salvation and "God with us."
> "For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—not by works, so that no one can boast." — Ephesians 2:8-9
