Sermon Description

Mathew 2:10-11

• 10 And when they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy. 
  11 And they came into the house and saw the young child with Mary his mother; and they fell down and worshipped him; and opening their treasures they offered unto him gifts, gold and frankincense and myrrh.

Luke 2:8-20

• 8 And there were shepherds in the same country abiding in the field, and keeping watch by night over their flock. 
  9 And an angel of the Lord stood by them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid. 
  10 And the angel said unto them, Be not afraid; for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy which shall be to all the people: 
  11 for there is born to you this day in the city of David a Saviour, who is Christ the Lord. 
  12 And this is the sign unto you: Ye shall find a babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, and lying in a manger. 
  13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, 
  14 Glory to God in the highest,
  And on earth peace among men in whom he is well pleased. 
  15 And it came to pass, when the angels went away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another, Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing that is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us. 
  16 And they came with haste, and found both Mary and Joseph, and the babe lying in the manger. 
  17 And when they saw it, they made known concerning the saying which was spoken to them about this child. 
  18 And all that heard it wondered at the things which were spoken unto them by the shepherds. 
  19 But Mary kept all these sayings, pondering them in her heart. 
  20 And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, even as it was spoken unto them.

Malachi 1:6-14

• 6 A son honoreth his father, and a servant his master: if then I am a father, where is mine honor? and if I am a master, where is my fear? saith Jehovah of hosts unto you, O priests, that despise my name. And ye say, Wherein have we despised thy name? 
  7 Ye offer polluted bread upon mine altar. And ye say, Wherein have we polluted thee? In that ye say, The table of Jehovah is contemptible. 
  8 And when ye offer the blind for sacrifice, it is no evil! and when ye offer the lame and sick, it is no evil! Present it now unto thy governor; will he be pleased with thee? or will he accept thy person? saith Jehovah of hosts. 
  9 And now, I pray you, entreat the favor of God, that he may be gracious unto us: this hath been by your means: will he accept any of your persons? saith Jehovah of hosts. 
  10 Oh that there were one among you that would shut the doors, that ye might not kindle fire on mine altar in vain! I have no pleasure in you, saith Jehovah of hosts, neither will I accept an offering at your hand. 
  11 For from the rising of the sun even unto the going down of the same my name shall be great among the Gentiles; and in every place incense shall be offered unto my name, and a pure offering: for my name shall be great among the Gentiles, saith Jehovah of hosts. 
  12 But ye profane it, in that ye say, The table of Jehovah is polluted, and the fruit thereof, even its food, is contemptible. 
  13 Ye say also, Behold, what a weariness is it! and ye have snuffed at it, saith Jehovah of hosts; and ye have brought that which was taken by violence, and the lame, and the sick; thus ye bring the offering: should I accept this at your hand? saith Jehovah. 
  14 But cursed be the deceiver, who hath in his flock a male, and voweth, and sacrificeth unto the Lord a blemished thing; for I am a great King, saith Jehovah of hosts, and my name is terrible among the Gentiles.

       Romans 12:1-2

• 1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service. 
• 2 And be not fashioned according to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is the good and acceptable and perfect will of God.
