Sermon Notes:
This Will Be The Sign
Lessons from the Manger
Luke 2:12
This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in
cloths and lying in a manger.
What Kind of Sign?
Just for a moment, let’s suppose we don’t know anything else
about Christmas. If Luke 2:12 were the only verse we had,
what would we know about the birth of Christ?
1. His Humanity—"You will find a baby”
2. His Helplessness—"Wrapped in cloths”
3. His Humility—"Lying in a manger”
Candlelight
Service
Tonight at 6:00 pm
