Sunday, December 17, 2023 | True Story | The Christmas Truths
Pastor Terry Mahan unpacked the True Story of Christmas, emphasizing three pivotal truths. Firstly, Jesus came to erase misconceptions about God, revealing His true nature through both teachings and actions (John 18:37, John 1:18, Isaiah 7:14). The second truth illuminated that Christmas embodies God expressing sacrificial and all-encompassing love through Jesus (Isaiah 7:14, 1 John 4:9-10, Ephesians 3:18-19). Lastly, the third truth centered on Christmas as an opportunity for a personal relationship with God, as believers are adopted into His family through Jesus Christ (Ephesians 1:5). The congregation was encouraged to embrace these profound truths, understanding God’s nature, accepting His love, and initiating a life-changing relationship with Him.
