This week, Pastor Steven Trammel uses Mary’s point of view.
Scripture Passage: Luke 1:26-38

Have you ever asked God: “How can this be?” In other words: “God, how are You going to pull this off?”
Pastor Trammel shares about his journey from Louisiana to Texas…
Sometimes life is great and the path is clear. Other times, life throws us a curveball. In Henry Blackaby’s “Seven Realities of Experiencing God”, he writes: “God’s invitation for you to work with Him always leads you to a crisis of belief that requires faith and action.” (Reality #5)
Do you believe God is still mighty enough to pull you through the midst? Pastor Trammel discusses God’s provision found in Luke 1:35.

When you’re eating dinner at a Christmas party, His steadfast love endures forever. When you have a tough day at work or school, His steadfast love endures forever.

Title: The Promised King is Here
Topic: Amazing Grace
Discussed by Pastor Steven Morris
with Champion Forest Baptist Church (www.ChampionForest.org)
Part 5
Do you sometimes miss the bigger picture?
The Christmas season often leaves us feeling tired and unsatisfied. Let’s change that this year!
Pastor Steven Morris begins a new sermon series this week: “Amazing Grace”. It’s time to change our focus from the things in front of us and focus on the bigger picture.
Scripture Passage: Matthew 1: 1-17
Questions/Issues Discussed:
When we look at the genealogy of Jesus, we may ask “Why them?” There are a lot of imperfect people on that list! But that’s exactly the point! God didn’t send His son for “perfect people” because there are none! Jesus came because He was needed. He came because of God’s Amazing Grace.
Why did Matthew break his pattern of “so and so the father of so and so” in verse 16? In this verse, he wrote: “Joseph, the husband of Mary”. Listen as Pastor Steven explains!
Scripture References:
Romans 5:8
John 1:12
FINAL THOUGHTS:
You have the right to be in the Family of God!
Slow down and focus on the bigger picture.
Take in the beauty of God’s amazing grace.

Why did Jesus come? God’s Amazing Grace!
