Good Memories @ CHRISTmas
14
Dec '21
Introduction: Do you think that Joseph and Mary, and Jesus, ever talked about His supernatural birth? Perhaps, Mary reminded Him about having “No Room” for them in the inn. Imagine how she felt seeing the STAR? The Shepherds? Later, the Wise men? What were Joseph’s thoughts?
1. What kind of Memories are you going to build this CHRISTmas? (Rev 2,3)
“Remember…. “
Jesus reminds the seven Churches in Revelation to REMEMBER some things. Some good. Some not so good.
But rather than REMEMBERING all the bad things, our Lord wants us to have good memories.
* Remember the fun times growing up
* Remember the blessed times
* Remember when you first heard about the Savior of the world, Jesus Christ
* Remember sitting in Church singing and worshipping Jesus with other believers (pic of heaven)
* Remember your conversion experience
* Remember praying together as a family
* Remember when you sensed the presence of the Lord
* Remember the blessed times
* Remember when you first heard about the Savior of the world, Jesus Christ
* Remember sitting in Church singing and worshipping Jesus with other believers (pic of heaven)
* Remember your conversion experience
* Remember praying together as a family
* Remember when you sensed the presence of the Lord
2. How can we build good Memories and pass them on this CHRISTmas? (Rev 2, 3)
“Remember…..”
One of the joys of getting older is passing down a lasting legacy. Are you purposely doing this? Personally, the spiritual “hand me downs” are perhaps more important than the material “hand me downs.” Have you got some “spiritual” hand me downs ready?
Conclusion: This time of the year can be very stressful. Yet, If we prayerfully consider the will of God for us and our families, it will ensure us of passing down some “GOOD MEMORIES.” Take some time to reflect over this devotion and then apply it to your life.
Love y’all,
