With Love Week 3 "Go Tell It With Love" (Christmas Eve Service)

Chisholm Assembly of God Podcast

Pastor Micah finished our Christmas series this week called "With Love!" The overarching theme of this series aims to answer the question, why do we have Christmas? The most simple answer is, LOVE! Out of God's love for us He made a way for us to be reconciled back to Him! He sent His One and only Son Jesus to become the final atoning sacrifice to bridge the gap that sin had created between God and mankind.
This week we focused on how we can go tell others about God's love. By looking at the story of the shepherds we see how they received the news from the angels, responded by going to see Jesus, and then going and telling everyone about the newborn Messiah, Jesus Christ. They were so filled with joy they could help, but go tell everyone about Jesus.
Sometimes we can lose joy in our lives, but here are 4 practical ways we can restore the joy of the Lord in our lives:

1. Think about how things have changed!
2. Journal
   • Times when God showed up in unexpected ways.
   • Times God gave me what I needed by doing what I didn’t want.
   • Prayers God has answered.
3. Realize your purpose in Him!
4. Commit to pressing on no matter what!
