INTRODUCTION
At Christmas time we remember the ultimate act of love… Jesus coming into the world to save us. It is extremely easy to diminish this celebration to presents, family, tradition, etc.. But the true purpose behind Christmas is to remind us of the truest and best example of love that has ever existed… the God of the universe coming after His children.

HAVE A VOLUNTEER READ JOHN 3:16-21
God loves us so much that… JESUS! Jesus is the entire point of scripture. God loves us to the point that He was willing to give everything to draw us close to Him. There is no gift too big… even His one and only son! Merry Christmas, here’s Jesus - signed God.
HAVE A VOLUNTEER READ JOHN 14:9-14
Christmas is the ultimate opportunity to show God’s love to the world. The holiday even bears Jesus’ name. It’s pretty perfect as a discussion starter. But before we start the discussion, we must earn the right to enter into this discussion by showing Jesus before we ever talk about Jesus. Once we earn that right, we must boldly love and discuss in a way that shows Jesus to those who need to see Him most.
APPLICATION
PRAYER
Pray that God would show you how to better love the world around you this Christmas and point you to who needs a church home.
