How to gain a new awareness of Jesus
December 27, 2012
For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures…
1 Corinthians 15:3-4
Our world just spent the past month going through a whirlwind of consumerism mixed with religion and a dash of spirituality when appropriate. And now that we’ve emerged on the other side of December 25th, let’s try to answer this question: What is the meaning of the Christmas season?
If you asked 20 people on the street this question, you’d probably get 20 answers. Some might say, “Peace on earth, goodwill to men.” Others might answer, “It’s about being with those you love.” Now there’s a lot of truth in both of those answers, but they’re really both inadequate because they miss the main point: Jesus.
So I want to give you what I believe the Bible says is the real meaning of this season: In Jesus Christ, our greatest need is exposed; and in Jesus Christ, God’s greatest deed is disclosed. He came for us, He died for us, and He rose again for us.
If we can start living our lives in light of this key truth, we can have Christmas in our hearts year round. So as you start thinking about those New Year’s resolutions, start living today with a new awareness of what Christ did for you by coming into the world!
COME AWAY FROM CHRISTMAS AND INTO THE NEW YEAR WITH A NEW AWARENESS OF WHAT JESUS DID FOR YOU!

Get the best from 2012 to be your best in 2013
Dear Friend,
While many pastors shy away from addressing controversial issues, I sincerely believe you need to hear straight, “bulls-eye” biblical teaching on many of today’s hot topics. Not only to grow in your faith as a believer, but to give winsome, compassionate answers to the hard questions our culture is asking.
That’s why I want to send you a special new resource today – my CD series called The Best of 2012.
This series contains 10 of my most popular and compelling messages from 2012, and it’s a resource that’s sure to help you in 2013 because it includes messages such as, “Are All Religions the Same?”, “Lessons on Leadership,” and “What Is a Christian?”
The Best of 2012 is my gift to thank you for your donation to help PowerPoint continue to proclaim God’s Word and truth ’til the whole world hears. So please request your copy when you give today.
Thank you!
