Follow Along with the Message

Christmas is about faith. The power of it.  A young girl believed God and the world was never the same.


"If you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you."--Matthew 17:20

 

 


HUMILITY


     Bond-slave


     "If My people humble themselves and pray. . .then, I will hear."--2 Chronicles 7:14


     Rich Young Ruler--"Why do you call Me good, no one is good but God."--Luke 18:19


     Morally excellent.  Good.  Wise.  Fair.  Worthy


     Matthew tells the story from the other side.  Man's smallness. 


     A private moment of surrender

 

 


HEARING GOD'S WORD


     "Blessed is she who believed that there would be a fulfillment of what had been spoken to her by the Lord."--v. 45


     "Let it be done to me according to your word."--v. 38


     "Faith comes from hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ."--Romans 10:17

 

 


HOPE


     This will take time.


     "Faith is the assurance of things hoped for."--Hebrews 11:1


     Fulfillment--teleiosis, fulfillment, accomplishment, completion
