Christmas: The Lord Is Come! The Song of Simeon Luke 2:25-33

This Christmas sermon encourages us to have the faith of Simeon. He knew at the beginning of the process that by the time God brought things to completion salvation would be the result. He knew that the baby of Bethlehem would become the Christ of Calvary. He knew that what God was doing in the tiny baby he held in his arms would be well worth the wait.

Faith: Mary Before Christmas Luke 1:26-38

In John, we may see our need to prepare the way of the Lord, but in Mary we see the even greater need to prepare Him room. In her, we see the response of faith: obedience. As this Christmas sermon reminds us, "Faith is obedience, nothing else; literally, nothing else at all."
