Pastor Tommy Nelson, of Denton Bible Church in Texas, gave a sermon to his church for Christmas, 1988, entitled “Jesus’ View of Christmas.” The text for this powerful sermon was an unlikely one . . . Luke 11:21-26. Those verses are several chapters away from the traditional Christmas story which we all know and love, Luke 2:1-20: “And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus, that all the world should be taxed . . . “ I was intrigued. How could verses about Jesus and Satan give us a message for Christmas?
Preparing Your Heart for Christmas
Excellent or Praiseworthy is posted on Monday and Thursday nights.
Then the seventh angel sounded; and there were loud voices in heaven, saying, ‘The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of His Christ; and He will reign forever and ever.’” — Revelation 11:15
Perhaps it’s difficult to get in the “mood” for Christmas this year. Perhaps deployment has distracted you from the “feeling” that usually comes with preparing for Christmas.
That’s understandable. And perhaps we can help. Because there’s nothing better to help you focus on the real meaning of Christmas than worshipful singing and solid biblical preaching.
Here is a favorite rendition of “O Holy Night”. . . enjoy!

And nothing tops Dr. S.M. Lockridge’s preaching on “That’s My King”. After all, not only did Jesus come to earth on that Holy Night as Savior. . . .but He came to reign in our hearts as King!
Do you know Him? Don’t let this Christmas go by without understanding it’s real meaning—God coming to earth as Savior and as King! Then, and only then will any circumstances of this year fade in comparison to the greatness of this gift of Jesus, Emanuel, Christ, King.
