Two points in this message.
The Christmas message focuses on several of the facts about the birth of Jesus. Matthew 1 has the lineage of Joseph. We have been taught that his lineage was disqualified from being able to be the lineage of Jesus because of the curse on Jechoniah. Pastor shows with scripture that the curse was broken byZerubbabel . So while Joseph was not the biological father of Jesus, the boy was raised by a godly man. The curse had been reversed.
Interspersed with the Christmas teaching is more mind-renewal about what it means to be led by God. Following his leadership is an easy, natural thing. Sometimes you realize that you need to do something. That realization is leadership from God.
