The birth of Jesus. Luke 2: 1-40

The promise of the birth of the Lord and Saviour. Luke 1: 1-4, 26-56

A reading of Matthew 1:18 - 24; Matthew 2

Merry Christmas All! God bless us everyone! ..I John 5 is about Faith in the Son of God

Solomon builds the temple. See 1 Kings 6,7.

Discerning false prophets. (Knowing who is true and who is false - and who to listen to - through the discernment given to us by the Holy Spirit). Loving one another through Christ and in Christ.

Preparations for building the Temple. King Solomon engaging in trade with King Hiram of Tyre. (No trade wars; prosperity for all)

Loving one another. Living a life of sinlessness (a mishap or slip in sinning BUT NOT sinning habitually or willfully). There remains no sacrifice for willful, deliberate sin (from Hebrews).

Solomon asks for wisdom (1 Kings 3:4-15)

New Commandments: just 1. Love one another (which is an old commandment - Leviticus 19:18). Do not love this world. Beware of the spirit of the anti-Christ (the spirit of drifting away from God) or replacing Jesus - well-meaningly with your own version. Or abolishing him completely from your life.
