"The Incarnation of the Triune God"

Philippians 2:6-11

This morning, again, we have the joyous privilege--as we do each year at this time--of considering the Christmas story.

And I find that every year as I approach it again, there's some new thing that the Lord teaches me, some profound new reality about this Christmas event, the birth of Christ, that touches my heart in a way that it's been untouched in the past.

DOES CHARACTER MATTER? (God’s Love and Jerusalem’s Sin)

Ezekiel 16:1-43
