More, with Less Me

This Christmas message challenges us to embrace a powerful posture: 'He must increase, but I must decrease.' Drawing from John 3, we're reminded of John the Baptist's humble approach to Jesus' ministry. This isn't about disappearing, but about redirecting glory to where it truly belongs - to God. We're encouraged to examine how we might be getting in God's way, particularly through seeking recognition, clinging to control, and measuring our worth by worldly standards. The message invites us to trust in God's unconditional love and to find joy in surrendering control. It's a call to shift our focus from ourselves to Christ, understanding that our true worth comes from Him, not our circumstances or achievements. As we celebrate Christ's birth, let's consider how we can decrease so that He may increase in our lives, finding freedom and purpose in this counter-cultural approach. #Christmas #Trust #Surrender
