Simply the Best Place to Be
Sermon Scripture: Luke 2:8-20 Sermon Big Idea: Being in the shadow of the power of the most high works best if we simply accept who God is and what He did for us. Sermon part 1 They simply received the simple message (Luke 2:8-15) Luke 2:15. Let us go and see this thing the Lord has made known to us John 10:11. “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.” Sermon part 2 How COVID has affected us
Partiality
The wise men’s hearts were overshadowed by worship. Are they magi? (Daniel 1:20, 2:5, 2:24) Are they wise men? (1 Kings 10:7,9-10) Are they kings? (Isaiah 39:6, 60:10) Herod’s heart was overshadowed by worry and fear. King of the Jews? Builder and baby killer? (Matthew 2:16) The Priests and Scribes’ hearts were overshadowed by confusion. (Matthew 2:5-6) If they knew about Jesus why didn’t they worship Him? Why information without action? Do you seek Him as a magi, wise man, How COVID has affected us
In The Right Shadow

The wise men knew it was Him by a sign – Matthew 2:9 Peter and Andrew knew it How COVID has affected us
A Rejected King
Sermon Scripture: 1 Samuel 16 Sermon Big Idea: Rejection is a heart condition. Will we believe in our hearts how Jesus came into the world and what He came to do? Israel rejected God as King because they didn’t like what they could see. (1 Samuel 8:1-7) God rejected Saul as King because of what Saul wouldn’t see. (1 Samuel 13:13-14; 15:11,22,27-29) God rejected David’s brothers as King so that Israel may see. (1 Samuel 16:6-7) The world rejected Jesus How COVID has affected us
Don’t forget the bread
God uses an unlikely love story at the “house of bread” to fulfill his promise. Intro: You can’t deny love as the overwhelming thread that holds together God and his people.

(Ruth 1:16-17) Boaz’s love was for God and His people. (Ruth 2:11; 4:9-10) God’s love is a promise kept. (Genesis 3:15; Isaiah How COVID has affected us
