Introduction: As an American there is so much for us to look forward to at the Christmas season. I can remember as a child waiting for the Sears & Roebuck catalog to arrive! Each year it would usually, arrive sometime after Thanksgiving. The cover would be some wonderful, Christmas photograph in that Glossy Paper that the catalog was made of. Full color and the excitement of the season would begin to build.  My brother and I would each get a Felt Tip Marker. Usually, mine was Red & his Blue.  For the entire month, day after day we could lay on the floor and dream about what we wanted for Christmas. We were allowed to circle anything that we wanted for Christmas in the catalog. I probably didn’t realize it at the time, but that anticipation brought as much joy to the Christmas season as anything back then. Another great thing about Christmas back then was my family. It must have been a less busy time in America, or at least in my little corner of America. Every year, all of my family seemed to have plenty of time to stop, gather at the grandparents houses and spend time together. I would see both sets of cousins and we would eat different foods, sleep on pallets, open gifts etc. It seemed that the world would pause for Christmas back then. Christmas: So, we have two Sunday Mornings in which we can look forward to the Biblical account of Christmas. The birth of our Saviour! That birth is what Christmas is all about!

Introduction: This morning I am not here to defend or debate. I am simply going to speak with you about Some scriptures and what I have chosen to believe about those scriptures. I am unashamed to tell you or anyone that I believe everything that the Bible has to say about the Lord Jesus Christ, His resurrection, His Rapture and His Return. These events are more fantastic and remarkable than anything that has ever been imagined by mankind. Yet, I choose to believe them based on the reliability of the Bible and the character of God. Outline: His promise to return. His return for the Rapture of the Church. His return at HIs Second Coming. Conclusion: God created this earth and all that is around it. He sent his only begotten Son to offer a way of redemption for our sin. Jesus, the one who never lied and cannot lie, promised to return for His church. The Bible has withstood every attack of man and Satan. It has never been proven false. It has changed the world for time and for eternity. The Bible has hundreds of examples of prophecies fulfilled.  Jesus is coming back. You can choose to believe it or not. I pray that you do.
