Message: What defines Christmas for You?

Scripture: Matthew 2:1-12

3 Ways to Define Christmas correctly

• Let it be about the Truth regardless of the cost -

• Make Christmas about what’s in you, not what is around you -

• Understand that Christmas will be about what you are looking for -

Conclusion: 

Your Christmas is going to end up being whatever you're looking for; if you're looking for Jesus it'll be about Jesus, but if you're looking for other things that’s what it will be about. Seek Jesus and show the world what Truly defines Christmas, that the Father loves us so much that He gave us Jesus. If you are going to give someone something this Christmas, make Jesus the reason.
