Episode Title: Christmas Calls Us to Share the Gospel (Matthew 28:19-20)
Key Points:
Christmas celebrates the birth of Jesus, the fulfillment of God's promise and the dawn of a new era for humanity.
The Great Commission, given by Jesus in Matthew 28:19-20, calls all believers to share the gospel with all nations.
The Bible provides numerous examples of individuals who embraced the Great Commission and the life-changing power of sharing the gospel.
Sharing the gospel can be daunting, but it doesn't require eloquence or theological knowledge. Sharing our own stories, inviting others to church, and simply living a life that reflects Christ's love are powerful ways to share the gospel.
The Christmas season presents unique opportunities to share the gospel through Christmas programs, sharing resources, and living a life that embodies Christ's character.
Call to Action:
Commit to sharing the gospel in a specific way during the Christmas season.
Share your story with others.
Pray for God's grace and opportunities to share the gospel.

Episode Title: Christmas Calls Us to Love (1 John 4:10-11)
Key Points:
Christmas is the celebration of God's greatest expression of love, the birth of Jesus Christ.
Love is the foundation of the Christian faith and a call to action that extends to our relationships with others.
The Bible consistently emphasizes the importance of love, from First Corinthians 13:13 to John 13:34-35.
Jesus gave us a new commandment: "Love one another, as I have loved you."
We can build up and express love during the holidays by reaching out to loved ones, forgiving those who have hurt us, performing acts of service, sharing our blessings, and praying for the ability to love unconditionally.
Christmas is a time to commit to making love the cornerstone of our lives, allowing our actions and choices to be guided by compassion and a desire to spread joy and hope.
The true Christmas spirit lies not just in receiving gifts, but in giving the gift of love to ourselves and to others.
Call to Action:
Reflect on the ways you can show more love to others during the holiday season and beyond.
Forgive someone who has hurt you and offer them grace and kindness.
Perform acts of service for those in need.
Share your blessings with others, even if it's just a kind word or a small gesture.
