We live in a world that is filled with hopelessness. A place where peace is often fleeting, war is common, and conflict is constantly lurking around the corner. We live in a world where joy is lost in the hustle and bustle of life. Our world is one where love can feel empty. This is the world in which God sent His Son Jesus to come and save us from sin—to give mankind hope, peace, joy, and love. Gifts Of Christmas will remind us that because of the greatest Gift of all, we can have life and know how to share His hope, peace, joy, and love with the world. Each of these four sessions of this series will represent one of the traditional advent themes found in the story of Christ’s birth, life, death, and resurrection.

    • "Master teacher” format 

    "GIFTS OF CHRISTMAS" COVERS THE FOLLOWING PURPOSES AND PASSAGES:

    • Session 1 – The Gift of Hope (Genesis 3:8-15, Isaiah 9:6-7, Luke 2:25-32, Luke 2:36-38, Romans 5:1-5, Titus 2:11-14, 1 Corinthians 15:19-20, Matthew 28: 19-20, 1 Peter 3:14-15) |In the beginning, when Adam and Eve first sinned, all seemed hopeless because of the consequences of sin. But God foretold of a hope that was coming to save the world. This hope was born thousands of years later in Christ’s birth. Because of Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection, we too can have hope when all things seem lost.

    • Session 2 – The Gift of Peace (Genesis 3:1-6, Luke 2:8-14, Isaiah 9:6-7, Isaiah 59:2, Romans 1:18, Romans 5:1, 8-10, Ephesians 2:14, Romans 12:18) |One of the consequences of sin is that it separates us from God. Our flesh is at war with God, and there is no peace. Throughout history, humankind has strived for true peace. But this peace is not a political peace but a peace that God gives us in the reconciliation that Jesus makes possible through His death and resurrection.

    • Session 3 – The Gift of Joy (Luke 2:8-20, John 9:1-24) |After Jesus’ birth, Angels appeared to shepherds and told them of the birth of Christ. After the shepherds found Jesus, they hurried to tell the town about the Messiah who had come. Their joy could not be contained, for the Savior had come.

    • Session 4 – The Gift of Love (1 John 4:7-12) |This is love: that God sent Jesus to live, love, die, and rise from the dead to save us. And we show this by loving one another. God’s love has been poured out to all through Jesus. As we look to Him, that love transfers to how we are to love others.
