Christmas Changed the Shepherd's Lives
By Erlo Stegen0ISA 43:4ISA 49:1MIC 5:2LUK 2:8ROM 8:28Erlo Stegen emphasizes how the birth of Jesus transformed the lives of the shepherds, highlighting the penetrating light of Christ that must fill our lives. He draws parallels between the shepherds' urgency to see Jesus and our need to respond quickly to God's call. Stegen warns against hardening our hearts and encourages us to ponder the significance of Christ's birth, which brings salvation from sin and temptation. He reminds us of God's immense love, demonstrated through the sacrifice of His Son, and urges us to seek the Savior with the same haste as the shepherds. Ultimately, he calls for a personal encounter with Jesus, the one who saves and transforms us.
God-Touched Servants
By David Wilkerson0DAN 10:7DAN 10:10REV 1:13David Wilkerson emphasizes the profound impact of God's touch on His servants, as illustrated by Daniel's experience of being seized by God's hand, which ignited a deep urgency to seek Him. This intimate relationship with the Lord allows certain individuals to receive divine revelations and become fervent prayer warriors, while others remain indifferent. Wilkerson questions why only some are chosen to experience this divine urgency, highlighting Daniel's unique passion for knowing God's heart amidst a faithful yet complacent society. The sermon calls for believers to cultivate a similar hunger for God and to be sensitive to the moral decay around them, preparing for Christ's return.
