Thousands of years have passed since God promised Abraham that all people would be blessed through him and numerous prophecies have been made regarding a Messiah.  Now at this moment in time, God sets his plan in motion.  The Messiah, King of kings and Lord of lords, enters the world.  God uses people and circumstances that may surprise us! Text: Luke 2:1-20

God speaks bluntly and directly to His people.  They have cheated him!  They have said terrible things about him!  They have been disobedient!  God calls them to repent – to turn back to him.  We are guilty of those same sins plus more.  Repent, and receive his mercy!  Text: Malachi 3:6-18
