Hope, for the Future?
Another New Year is approaching, where are you now?
What are you planning for in 2014, a better life, getting out of prison, getting home to your family?
These are all things that we may be setting out to Hope for.
But for many they are nothing more but dreams of what we want.
There is a real Hope, it can be found today. This hope will set you free, you might look back from time to time. But you will always look forward again, no matter what happens.
Job 8:13, Psalm 119:114, Proverbs 10:28, Acts 24:15, Titus 1:12.
'Happy New Year.'

Stephen...
The first Christian Martyr.
Stephen was not killed by religious men, he was killed by Liberals. Today we might call them ''do gooders, the ones who fight for our rights.'
Stephen was not killed because he had faith in God, he was killed because he spoke the truth.
Even good people do not like to hear the truth, because the truth is they are doing things in their own strength and for their reputation.
We all have something to hide, maybe we are really timid and weak. We pretend to be tough, to stay in the pack.
But you cannot go on as you are, that is why Jesus came to set us free from the darkness that we are comfortable and ignorant in!
Acts 6:5-8:3, John 3:20-21, 8;12, 2 Timothy 1:7, Revelation 21:8.

Wrapped. Part-Three.
Wisemen.
We all like to give and recieve presents at this time of the year, that is if belong to the Christian tradition in one form or another. We see that the Magi came from the east to give gifts to the Jesus, but they really came to worship Him.
They had waited a long time for this day, thousands of years for the star of promise to appear in the sky's. So they all got wrapped up and set off to see the Messiah and the savior of the world. Matthew 2:1-18, Numbers 24:17.
What will you be doing with yourself this 'Christmas, home with family, parents, someone close or are you all alone, out of choice or feel rejected?
Don't be mean try to see what's it all about for yourself!
John 6:29.

Wrapped. Part-Two.
Part of the Royal family.
The shephers, who looked after the sheep, got a real scare, shock when the angels appeared to them. But they obeyed the message that they heard and went see for themselves.
One thousand years earlier the boy shepherd david must of been suprised to be anointed the king of Israel by the prophet Samuel. But he to obeyed and joined the court of evil king saul.
David was like us, he was not perfect and yet the baby Jesus is decended from that Royal line.
The good news don't end yet, we to can be part of the eternal royal family, by placing our faith and trust in jesus, and his works to set us free?
Luke 2:8-20, 1 Samuel 16:11, Acts 2:44-47, 1 Peter 2:9.

Wrapped. Part-One.
Jesus Promised.
Many people were waiting for the birth of Jesus, they had the faith to believe.
He was expected to be born as a King in a palace, but He came by a virgin and was layed out in an animal drinking basin. In a humble place, or a dirty place, a stable.
Why did He come? Because God loved us, He came to show us Gods ways and the way to return to God, through Him.
Psalm 22:6, Isaiah 53:2-3, Luke 2:3-7, John 1:14, 2 Corinthians 8:9.
