WHKW Broadcast 34 – What Kind of Christmas Will You Have?

Introduction:

                                      Welcome to the Bible Stands with Pastor Allan McCracken. This program is brought to you by Liberty Bible Church, in Vienna, Ohio. We are an independent bible believing church that stands solely on the Word of God.
	
	 This week’s edition of the Bible Stands broadcast asks a pointed question to you, our listeners. What kind of Christmas will you have this year? To begin, please open your bibles to Luke, chapter 1, verse 1. Today, our broadcast will center on 3 categories of individuals & the ways they celebrated the birth of our Lord & Savior, Jesus Christ, with a focus on their worship. Most people will be able to identify with at least one of these different types, as recorded in the Bible. So let’s get ready to kick off the Christmas season & stay tuned as Pastor Allan McCracken asks you what kind of Christmas you will have this year.

Concluding remarks: 
                                      
                                      Thank you fro listening today, & as Pastor Allan said, these were 3 ways in which we can know what kind of Christmas we will have this year.  Now, don’t forget that you can download this message & many others online at our website.

                                      Well during today’s broadcast, Pastor Allan talked about some of the people present during the historical first Christmas, & the way in which they worshipped Jesus, the new born King. Pastor taught us about the innkeeper, who had no real worship at all. He taught us about the evil King Herod, who had false worship, & finally, we were taught about the 3 wise men, which had true worship. Now, of the 3 categories that Pastor shared, we can all fit into one or another. The question is however, in which category do YOU belong? By identifying with one of these ways of worship, we can know what kind of Christmas we will have this year. More importantly though, if you name the name of Christ, but can more easily identify with the worship of the innkeeper, or that of Herod, then perhaps this would be a good time to re-evaluate your relationship to Jesus.
                                       
                                      If you would like to know for sure that you are a true worshipper of Jesus, then just ask Him to come into your heart & save you. This way you can fully know 100% of your relationship to Christ. Taking this first step is the easiest thing you could ever do.

                                      If you are unsure of how to ask the Lord Jesus into your heart, you can repeat my simple prayer…Heavenly Father, I am a sinner. Please forgive me for my rebellion against you. I believe that Jesus Christ shed His blood & died for my sin. Please come into my heart & save me. Thank You for making me a new creature. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.

                                      If you have just said this prayer, then God forgave your sins & will take you to Heaven when you die. Romans 10:13 says, “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.”, and if you believe this in your heart, then you too will have eternal life.
