Message: “For Unto Us a Child is Born” from Tim Melton

A message from the series "COVID-19." Every Christmas these verses are read in most churches around the world, but what do they mean? To whom are they given? What is the need that demanded such a great promise? If we are not careful we hear the verses and are satisfied with their apparent meaning without knowing the greater significance.When studying the Bible one of the most important questions to answer is what did these verses mean to the original hearers? This is true of these verses as well. Let us now look at the historical situation that these precious words of Christmas were spoken.

First Things First (Romans 11:33-12:2)

First Things First (Romans 11:33-12:2)

The marvel we feel at the love and grace of God is what Tom calls “gospel astonishment.” As we come to know Christ more deeply, His Spirit moves us to find new ways to express that astonishment, first of all, in our community of faith, which Tom refers to as “gospel commu-nity.” Then the second impulse of that amazing love moves us to reach out and touch a world not yet in Jesus’ embrace, which Tom describes as “gospel movement.” In other words, gospel astonishment builds gospel community, and gospel community fuels gospel movement. And all of it is empowered by the Spirit of Jesus to bring humanity under His shepherding care for the glory of His name and kingdom!
