FAMILY THEME: THE SAVIOR IS BORN

Luke 1:26-45;  2:1-7

The Holy Spirit was active in the birth of Jesus Christ, proving that it was

only by God's power that this could happen.

1.  The Holy Spirit Enabled Mary to Conceive Jesus

     (Luke 1:26-38)

     Believers have the power of the Holy Spirit available to them for

     whatever God calls them to do.

 
2.  The Holy Spirit Enabled Elizabeth to Understand the Importance of

     Mary's Child

     (Luke 1:39-45)

     The Holy Spirit gives us understanding and a special bond with

     other believers.

 
3.  The Holy Spirit Accomplished What He Had Begun

     (Luke 2:1-7)

     God is able to work out His plan for our lives just as He did in the

     birth of Jesus.
