This sermon delves into Luke 2:1-7, emphasizing the missed blessings during the first Christmas and drawing parallels to the present. The narrative reveals how Mary and Joseph, amidst the chaos of taxation, missed the blessing of a proper place for the birth of Jesus. Similarly, the modern world is often filled with hustle, noise, and distractions, leading to missed spiritual blessings. The first point explores how these blessings were missed then and are still missed now. The sermon then shifts to a practical guide on making room for Jesus in our lives. Step 1 involves stopping, drawing inspiration from Psalm 39:2 and Psalm 46:10, encouraging self-reflection on the necessity of actions. Step 2 is about starting, referencing Matthew 6:21 and Proverbs 10:27, prompting listeners to evaluate the expectations on them and align with God's goals. Philippians 3:13-18 reinforces the call to remain focused on Christ despite distractions. The sermon concludes with thought-provoking questions, challenging listeners to assess their holiday experience and intentionally make room for Jesus.
