Notes:





MONDAY | THE MESSIAH
PASSAGE: Matthew 1:21
PAUSE: Today we rejoice in a Savior who saves us from our sins. Our Heavenly Father sent us His only Son to deliver us from our sins. Jesus (Joshua – Hebrew) means “Yahweh (the Lord) saves.” Take an extra pause this Christmas morning to worship Jesus as the long-awaited Savior, who saves us from all our sins!
PRAYER: Heavenly Father, thank you for Jesus. I embrace Jesus as my Savior. I confess my sins and my unworthiness and rejoice in the forgiveness of sins.

TUESDAY | IMMANUEL
PASSAGE: Matthew 1:23
PAUSE: Christmas reminds us that God desires to dwell with us! Jesus not only saves us from our sins, but he also comes alongside us. Jesus walked among His people, today the Holy Spirit indwells us as believers. May we never forget that God loves us so much, that He desires to be with us 24/7 as His children.
PRAYER: Father, remind me of your presence today. Forgive me for the times that I forget that You are right here with me. I choose to dwell with You today.

WEDNESDAY | REJOICED EXCEEDINGLY
PASSAGE: Matthew 2:10
PAUSE: The wise men rejoiced exceedingly with great joy! Is there a greater joy than knowing Jesus? As you pause in the middle of another week, meditate on what brings you great joy! Hopefully, it is Jesus, if not, let us consider finding our hope and joy in Christ Jesus and not in this world.
PRAYER: Heavenly Father, I want the joy of the wise men. I confess that too many times I look to other places for joy, today, I seek You and You only.

THURSDAY | KING JESUS
PASSAGE: Luke 1:32-33
PAUSE: When Mary received news about baby Jesus, she was told that He would not only be a king but that He would be the king of kings. Jesus is more than a Savior; Jesus is also a king and is coming back soon to establish His kingdom that will reign forever and ever. Let us seek first His kingdom today.
PRAYER: Heavenly Father, Your kingdom come, and Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Today, I come seeking Your will be done in my life!

FRIDAY | GLORY TO GOD IN THE HIGHEST
PASSAGE: Luke 2:14
PAUSE: Celebrating Jesus as the Savior of the world is not just for Christmas, God desires that we worship Him 24/7. As you prepare your hearts for the new year and our weekend services, set aside a few moments and glorify God!
PRAYER: Heavenly Father, be glorified in my life and my church. Create in me a clean heart that is hungry and thirsty to worship and to glorify You!
