What Will You Give?

"Therefore, because of God's incredible mercy, I urge you to give to Him..."

These words mark the turning point in one of Paul's great writings in the New Testament. Some of you recognize them and know exactly where they are. The rest will have to wait until tomorrow. But have you considered what gift you will give to Jesus Christ this Christmas?

This Sunday I will preach the second message in our new series, "The Cradle that Rocked the World." The message is entitled, "Christmas is For-giving." The drummer boy raised the question in the song, what gift can I give that is fit for a king. The magi brought gold, frankincense and myrrh. But in reality, God owns everything in this universe, so what do you give someone who has everything? There really is one appropriate gift. Will you give it?
