Who is the hardest person to get a gift for?

What do you get the person who has everything?

I once heard someone say, “If I want it and can afford it, I already have it. And if I can’t afford it, you can’t either.” I don't think I'd want to be shopping for him.

Which made me think of Jesus.  With Christmas being His birthday, what do you give the One who owns the cattle on a thousand hills? The One who spoke and creation appeared? He already has everything… except one thing.

Your worship.

Tonight is Christmas Eve, and I hope you’ll come worship Christ, the newborn King. That’s a gift only you can bring. Your praise. Your heart. Your gratitude.

The Bible says, “Let us continually offer to God a sacrifice of praise… and do not forget to do good and share with others, for with such sacrifices God is pleased” (Hebrews 13:15-16).

The wise men didn’t bring just any gifts, they bowed low and worshiped. The one gift that still brings a joy to the heart of our Lord today.  

Merry Christmas, friend.

Pastor Mike

P.S. Join us tonight at 4:00 or 6:00 PM for a one-hour birthday celebration for Jesus. Special guest at both services—can’t wait to see you.

This Sunday we’ll be online only at 9:33 AM on Facebook with Ryan leading us in Christmas Worship songs and I'm bringing a message about what it is that makes God smile.
