“Finding Jesus in the Chaos of Christmas”
Pastor Ben Johnson – December 15, 2024
Everybody deals with CHAOS.
But not everyone deals with it in HEALTHY WAYS.
Matthew 1:18-23 — This is how the birth of Jesus the Messiah came about:
His mother Mary was pledged to be married to Joseph, but before they came together, she was found to be pregnant…
…she was found to be pregnant through the Holy Spirit.
Because Joseph her husband was faithful to the law, and yet did not want to expose her to public disgrace, he had in mind to divorce her quietly.
But, after he had considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, “Joseph son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus…because he will save his people from their sins.”
All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet: “The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel” (which means “God with us”).
Jesus shows up for the…
HURTING: Jesus brings HEALING to the hurting.
SKEPTIC: Jesus brings ANSWERS for the skeptic.
FAITHFUL: Jesus brings POWER to the faithful.
