John, Jesus and us – each had a “Miraculous Birth”, a supernatural birth. Pastor John Tuttle explains that God’s plan is complex and long-term. Jesus birth was miraculous in the moment, but also in the extended view. Because of our miraculous 2nd birth into God’s kingdom, our participation in God’s family is our promise and our hope.

The Qualified Christmas Participants that Pastor John Tuttle speaks about don’t seem to be the ones we would expect God to choose – a young unmarried girl, a manger, a small town, an old widow, and old man, shepherds, wise men who were not Jewish. God doesn’t need strength or status to accomplish His goals. God unraveled normal expectations in sending Jesus. He uses responsive people to accomplish His purposes.

The magi and the Bethlehem Star bring complexity to the wonder of Christ’s birth. God used multiple countries, people and points in history to accomplish His purposes.

Gideon had to learn to accept his weakness and rely on God’s strength in Judges 7:1-9, to the point of paring his army down to 300 to defeat the Midianites. Likewise, we have “Enough” to defeat our enemies when we rely on God’s ability and not our own.

“What things are we hungry for?” asks Velma Meek, an evangelist and prophetess from the Powerhouse Chicago, speaking at Water’s Edge Women’s Gala. Do we have a feeling of emptiness coupled with a desire to eat regarding the word of God?

Jesus tells us in John 10 what His Father is like. We define ourselves by negatives – I’m NOT going to do that, or be that. God defines us by what we ARE and what we are made to do. Becoming who we were made to be is a process to be worked out by walking with God, talking to Him, getting to know His voice, listening and then doing what He tells us to do. The Father wants to have your heart connected to the journey. Message by Charlie Holsworth, Associate Pastor, Waters Edge Church. Visit us on the web at www.mqtchurch.com

In our prosperity and technology, we spend a lot of time connecting on the surface, but not really connecting in real relationships. For instance, texting is not the same as a person to person conversation, complete with gestures, expressions, touch, sound and other nuances. We can explore many things with our phones, but is it really worth the time doing all that exploring? Proverbs is full of applicable knowledge, not just facts. Scriptures have answers if we are willing to listen. Sermon by Pastor John Tuttle of Water’s Edge Church. Visit us on the web at www.mqtchurch.com
