"Christmas With A Personal Touch"
Matthew 1:18-25
Derek Holmes, Lead Pastor
Matthew 1:23
See, the virgin will become pregnant and give birth to a son, and they will name him Immanuel, which is translated “God is with us.”
THE MIRACLE OF THE INCARNATION...
Christmas should be the holiday with the most personal touch. It is, after all, the season where we celebrate God coming to dwell with humanity.None of us were there to personally witness the birth of Christ, but it is still the most personal story in Scripture, because what took place that night touches each one of us individually, even thousands of years later..

See Matthew 1:23 & John 1:14
[2] GOD GAVE US HIS MOST _______ _______ AT CHRISTMAS
See Isaiah 9:6, John 3:16 & Philippians 2:7-8
