Celebrating his birth is not how we should glorify God. Paul says God forbid that we glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ (Gal 6:14). Emphasizing his birth hides the glory of the cross and misdirects attention to an event under the law that does not have the power to save anyone, but rather could cause confusion as Matthew-John are old testament in their doctrine, and the day is surrounded by fables and Roman Catholic traditions. Christ was not born on December 25th. It is easily researched from the Bible that the date of December 25th is not the birth date of Jesus. More likely, Jesus would be born in the fall as the Bible says was the time when the shepherds would let their flock into the fields to feed. This also aligns with the Bible chronology of the pregnancies of Elizabeth and Mary.

Our first and foremost mission field is our own families, our neighbors, and our nation, not foreign missions. God is certainly judging our nation with this invasion of illegal, violent third-world pagans, but it's not because we aren't sending out as many missionaries as we used to.

"...[J]ust as Sodom and Gomorrah and the surrounding cities, which likewise indulged in sexual immorality and pursued unnatural desire, serve as an example by undergoing a punishment of eternal fire." Jude 7 I understand the concern for delicate sensibilities in the service, but Sodom was not destroyed because of violence, or inhospitality to the stranger, or because of social injustice. It was destroyed because of its sexual sin, most prominently, homosexuality.

Wow. Those numbers at the start are shocking! Thank you for incorporating this pastoral prayer Neil

Such a great sermon. Thank you Neil.

Have you considered this: 1. The foreign invasion of illegal aliens into America is not God's blessing but God’s judgment. 2. God establishes nations and sets their borders. Illegally entering a nation is sin and should not be encouraged. 3. Wanting to preserve one's culture from foreign invaders is not "hating the nations." It's actually "loving your neighbor."

This is the best sermon I’ve ever heard covering a genealogical passage. Praise the Lord.

It's also "demonic" to refer to your pets as your "children." Humans are not "Cat Moms" or "Dog Dads."

1. God sovereignly gives spiritual gifts to whomever He pleases. He distributes them according to His will, not ours. We don't choose our gifts. God does. See 1 Corinthians 12:11, 18, 24, 28. 2. God distributes the gifts among the Church. There is no spiritual gift that everyone has been given. The Charismatic/Assemblies of God distinctive that every believer will manifest the indwelling of the Holy Spirit by speaking in so-called "tongues" is simply wrong. See 1 Corinthians 12:4,-11, 28-30. 3. The supernatural spiritual gifts (i.e. prophecy, languages, healing), if they are still in operation today, are empowered by the Holy Spirit. We do not learn them, nor do we "activate" them. See 1 Corinthians 12:11. 4. The spiritual gifts are given for the common good of the Church and not for personal edification. Therefore, there is no such thing as a gift of a "personal prayer language." See 1 Corinthians 12:7, 25. Paul rebukes the Corinthians for their misuse of "tongues" in 1 Corinthians 14:4. He is not commending those who speak in "tongues," i.e. human languages, without an interpretation. He is saying it's a bad thing to edify oneself, because it doesn't edify the Church.

I loved this sermon. Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion. Today, not tomorrow. The inclination you may have today to repent should not be presumed upon.

This has been such a great series. This life is passing away.

@42:13 "The more the Church is distinct from the world in her acts and in her maxims, the more true is her testimony for Christ, and the more potent is her witness against sin." -Charles Spurgeon

Haha...@29:25. The "Don't make me come down there" stare.

Edit: 15:45 "division creeps into a church when we have misplaced faith." Agreed. It sometimes seems like the modern church has put its faith in the theology of a still dead, un-resurrected JC(John Calvin) instead of the truth of the Alive, resurrected JC(Jesus Christ). Praise God for the Scriptures showing us Jesus is the only way.

Thank you. 😊
