SUMMARY OF MY CHRISTMAS DAY SERMON.
Topic: What is the reason for the season?
Most people get into the shopping mood, purchasing gifts increasing their food and alcohol intakes during the christmas season. They behave as if it is their birth day. Commercial activities reaches its peaks during the Christmas season and sometime the season can ruin some families especially those who cannot effort to buy gifts for their love one.
MAIN POINTS:
The reason for the seasons is the Love that God has for mankind to sent His only son Jesus Christ on earth to died for us.
The reason for the season is about the wonderful Gift God has sent us (His Son).
The reason for the season is for us as christians not to expect gifts from others, instead for us to find reason to apply the Genuine Love that God has for us to the less fortunately. The earthly parents of Jesus Mary and Joseph were ordinary people like us and God used them to bring forth the Savior of the world. God is looking for ordinary people today to make a difference..
