Today’s Devotional Message from Pastor Kurt:
Next, let’s spend some time in prayer.
Heavenly Father,
I confess that I am a sinner. I have sinned by thought, word, and deed. I have done things I should not have done and not done things that I should have done. I have sinned unknowingly and, at times, knowingly and willfully. I know that I am guilty and deserve punishment now and for all of eternity. I pray for Your mercy. The mercy You showed us by sending Jesus to become flesh and then suffer and die for our sins. Please forgive me and renew me. Change my heart to desire You and Your ways and help me to live a life of repentance, trusting the finished work of Jesus Christ.
(Take this time to pray whatever is on your heart.)
The Lord’s Prayer:
Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name, Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; And forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us; And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever and ever.
Amen

Next, let’s spend some time in prayer.
Heavenly Father,
In that first Christmas morning, the angels sung with great joy of the birth of our savior. Good news of great joy! Help me to do the same. May my witness of Jesus ring out like a bell, heard throughout the town this Christmas season. May I always sing of my salvation and proclaim the Good News of Jesus Christ in word and deed.

Today’s Devotional Message from Pastor Kurt:
Next, let’s spend some time in prayer.
Heavenly Father,
I will greatly rejoice in the Lord; my soul shall exult in my God, for he has clothed me with the garments of salvation; he has covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decks himself like a priest with a beautiful headdress, and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels. Fill my heart with joy through this Christmas season and beyond, a joy that is beyond my daily circumstances and rooted in Your grace and mercy which are always present.

Heavenly Father,
Thank You, Lord, for life, not just my physical life, but the eternal life I have in Christ through the faith You have given me. Help me to rest in Your salvation and hold me firmly in that faith. I look forward to the day of Your return when I know life to the fullest.

Heavenly Father,
On that first Christmas morning, our savior was born. Thank You for sending Your Son not just to Israel, but the gentiles, too. Your grace and love are greater than we could ever imagine.

Next, let’s spend some time in prayer.
Heavenly Father,
You sent Your Son to become man, born of Mary. Jesus took on flesh to destroy satan and free us from His reign of sin and death. Thank You!
The devil still prowls like a lion seeking to destroy us. Protect me, Lord. Keep me firmly in Your reign. Lead me not into temptation and deliver me from evil.

Heavenly Father,
I confess that I am a sinner. I have done things that were against Your Law. I have not loved You with my whole heart. I have not loved my neighbor like myself.
(Take some time to confess your specific sins.)
I need Your mercy. Please forgive me for the sake of Jesus Christ, who was born in a manger, lived a perfect life, suffered and died for the sins of the world and then rose again.

This life is filled with strife, violence, and war. Continue to bring peace into this world and please give me peace in my life. I thank and praise You that You I have peace with You through Christ.

Next, let’s spend some time in prayer.
Heavenly Father,
In and of myself, I am the least. I have nothing to offer of myself, but by You creating me, I have value and in Christ I have been filled with the most value. We are clay jars which contain a great treasure, the Gospel. Even You dwell in me. Help me to always remember my value in You and happily share the treasure in me.
