The Glory Struggle
1In those days a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be registered. 2This was the first registration when Quirinius was governor of Syria. 3And all went to be registered, each to his own town. 4And Joseph also went up from Galilee, from the town of Nazareth, to Judea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and lineage of David, 5to be registered with Mary, his betrothed, who was with child. 6And while they were there, the time came for her to give birth. 7And she gave birth to her firstborn son and wrapped him in swaddling cloths and laid him in a manger, because there was no place for them in the inn. 8And in the same region there were shepherds out in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. 9And an angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were filled with fear. 10And the angel said to them, "Fear not, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. 11For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. 12And this will be a sign for you: you will find a baby wrapped in swaddling cloths and lying in a manger." 13And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying, 14 "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among those with whom he is pleased!" 15When the angels went away from them into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, "Let us go over to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has made known to us." 16And they went with haste and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby lying in a manger. 17And when they saw it, they made known the saying that had been told them concerning this child. 18And all who heard it wondered at what the shepherds told them. 19But Mary treasured up all these things, pondering them in her heart. 20And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all they had heard and seen, as it had been told them. 21And at the end of eight days, when he was circumcised, he was called Jesus, the name given by the angel before he was conceived in the womb.

The Birth of Jesus
Luke 2 is a familiar passage to most people. We hear it every Christmas. Yet there are some unfamiliar things that we can take out of this passage. Luke placed the birth of Jesus in a historical setting. The birth of Jesus isn't just a nice story, but it was a real event that took place. Also, Jesus was born into the most humble of circumstances. The Savior, Messiah, and Lord was placed in a trough where the animals ate. If the Son of God is that humble, we need to be that humble, too.

Let it be to me According to Your Word
In the passage we examined today, Luke compares and contrasts two different types of faith as demonstrated by both Zechariah and Mary. One is a self-trusting, self-authoritative type faith, and the other is the faith of child. The question we are faced with is how can we obtain that childlike faith?

A Vision For Serving Our God
Distracting Ourselves with Service: A Call to Know the God We Are Serving If you look at Luke 10:40, there is a remarkable statement. Luke says that Martha was distracted by much service. Of course the service he was talking about was her serving Jesus. Does this shock you? Did you know that serving God could actually be a distraction, not a good thing? Most of us feel like serving God is always a good thing don't we? But then we sometimes wonder why serving God makes us so anxious, self-righteous, or tired. Today I want to talk about when service becomes a distraction and how we can learn to serve God in a way that encourages us and draws us toward him, instead of distracting us from him and leaving us feeling frustrated, tired and confused.

On That Day, I Will Protect Jerusalem - Zechariah 12
Zechariah, chapter 12, signals the prophet's final "burden" of the Lord. It is about a future "Day" when the Lord will protect and restore His covenant people at Jerusalem. There are two objectives for this message: A preacher's burden to teach Bible readers what they should anticipate when reading the prophetic sections of the Old Testament (and beyond). The second, is the prophet's burden to move a remnant people to understand that God's victory, founded upon grace and mercy, will be personally understood through mourning and bitterness over a "firstborn" who has been "pierced!"
