Jesus, God's perfect gift to mankind in the perfect timing. Jesus came in a way that connected us to Him as humanity. He came as one of us. In a way that served us, redeemed us when we had no hope. Jesus came in a way that changes our relationship with God forever.

Let us remember to rest in the faithfulness of God. Focus our attention on what is really important, that the Redeemer has come. Let all the other voices and noise fade away.

Focus on who God is and His covenant keeping.

Our message comes from Hebrews 1, verses 1 through 4. The self-relevatory God spoke through the prophets to the Fathers and speaks to us through His Son, Jesus Christ.

There is no other message in these last days, Jesus is the message.

This week we look at Psalm 145 another psalm written by David. In this psalm he instructs us to praise God.

We should praise the Lord everyday! Tell others about God's works and His mighty acts. Everything about our days the mundane and the big things should point us to God and allow us to point others to God.

Psalm 103 is a psalm of David written out of a heart of gratitude.

We should reflect on God's grace with a heart full of praise. Take time to rejoice in the many mercies of God. Our relationship with God gives us hope, we need His divine help.

Pause and praise God. Rejoice in His person, His character, His works, His love. The forgiveness God provides is worthy of praise.

We begin the book of Ruth and learn the story of Naomi and her daughters-in-law.

This story shows us how God's grace provides for us, even when it feels like He isn't near or there isn't any way He could possibly help us out of what we've gotten ourselves into. Remember God is faithful, God's grace covers all our sin and unwise choices.

This sermon concludes our series on the book of Judges. The reading from Judges starts with the sin against the Levite's concubine and then a war between the tribe of Benjamin and the other Israelites. There was no king at this time in Isreal and each person did whatever they thought was right.

Left to our own hearts we will live vile and ungodly lives. So be thankful for God's mercy who sent us Jesus to save us from ourselves. Choose to follow the Lord, ask for forgiveness, strive to be like Jesus and walk in the Spirit.

Today we hear the story of Micah who created is how style of worship and found his own priest, a homeless Levite. The tribe of Dan was seeking land, they stole the Levite priest from Micah and the land.

We learn from this story that we must not choose to make our own idols, religion or expectations for living. We should desire God's will, God's work, and God's purpose for our lives.

Do you strive to be like Jesus as ou walk in the Spirit? How closely do you walk according to the Scriptures? How does God and His Word impact your living?
