God, Yes, But Why Jesus? Part One, 1 of 2 (Single Sermon)
December 26, 2013
Tolerance is a big deal these days, and we’re all for tolerance. But there is one thing many people cannot tolerate. You can believe anything you want, but you cannot say you have the truth, without offending those around you. And when you say that Jesus is the truth, people become unglued.

Living With Your Passions
In a hyper-sexualized culture, sex is either reduced to pleasure-seeking or conflated with our identity. But God designed us as sexual beings for emotional and spiritual intimacy whose highest calling is to worship Him. In this revised edition, Pastor Erwin Lutzer draws on forty years of ministry experience to present a rationale for sexual purity. He gives an honest answer to the sexual pressures we face like extramarital relationships, self-gratification, same-sex attraction, and more. As desire-driven creatures, we don't have to pursue happiness at the expense of character. With our identity grounded in Christ, we can live victoriously with our passions.

It’s time to pick up the wrappings and watch as the kids play with their new toys. The race of Christmas is over. If you’re about to run to the store to return some gifts, remember this: the holiday has its roots in a far different culture of a very different time and place.

At last, the shopping race is over. No more running around for last minute gifts. Now, we can collect our thoughts. We can spend time with family, and reflect on why we celebrate Christmas in the first place. On this special day, take a few minutes and consider Christmas from a different viewpoint, from a place far away and a time long, long ago.

December 25th was not the day Jesus was born, but it is the date set aside for us to honor that birth. For Mary His mother, that birth began a long period of pain and sorrow, a personal toll we seldom consider during this time of year.

Soon we will celebrate the central event in human history; the coming of Jesus Christ to live among us. While Christians can now enjoy the benefits of the Savior’s birth, life, death and resurrection, there was one person who felt great pain when He came. Today we will seek to understand the real cost of Christmas to the mother who later had to watch her Son be put to death.

In ancient societies, shepherds had the low rung on the ladder. Their jobs were smelly, and the hours were long. When Jesus was born, the heavenly host of angels did not appear to the ruling elite. Instead, they appeared to the humblest people they could find: shepherds in the hills of Bethlehem.

A lot of people have misconceptions about angels. In the Bible, the word “angel” simply means “messenger.” These beings serve God in heaven and on earth, doing His bidding. When they massed over Bethlehem the night Jesus was born, they heralded the greatest message that has ever been sent.

After the last prophet’s writings, the voice of God fell silent in Israel for four hundred years. Then, one day, a brilliant light flooded the skies over a sleepy town south of Jerusalem. Myriads of angels announced the coming of a Savior, who was Christ the Lord. These messengers of God proclaimed the greatest news sinful mankind would ever hear.

Jesus said of Himself, “The Son of Man has nowhere to lay his head.” He always had to sleep in someone else’s home. His first night on earth was in a borrowed manger, a cattle feeding trough. The Son of God began His time among us in rude surroundings. No kingly pomp; just a humble bed of straw.

We encounter many conflicts and divisions in our lives, but none weightier than the conflict between God and sinful man. Two thousand years ago that wall was breached in a feeding trough behind an inn in the tiny town of Bethlehem.

When mankind rebelled against God, the chasm between the two was infinite. Justice demanded payment for this great sin. Only God could bridge this gap, and He did so by sending Jesus into the world, born into a peasant family in Israel. This baby was much more than met the eye. He speaks of Himself in the Bible’s last book as the Alpha and Omega.
