UNWRAPPING THE MIRACLE OF CHRISTMAS

“The Gift of Restoration”
Pastor Trevor Van Kempen – December 17, 2023

Restoration of Relationships: from DYSFUNCTIONAL to HELPFUL.

Genesis 2:18 – The Lord said, “it is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a HELPER suitable for him.”

Restoration of Identity: from DOING to BEING.

Psalm 109:105 – Your Word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.

Romans 12:2 — Do not be conformed to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is — his good, pleasing and perfect will.

Restoration of Hope: from DEAD to ALIVE.

Ephesians 2:1-2;4-5 – As for you, you were DEAD in your transgressions and sins, in which you used to live when you followed the ways of this world.

But because of his great love for us, God who is rich in mercy, made us ALIVE with Christ even when we were dead in transgression.
