Nativity of Courage December 9th, 2018

Definition Nativity: the process or circumstances of being born Courage: mental or moral strength to venture, persevere, and withstand danger, fear, or difficulty

Where Is Our Courage Born? The Example of the Virgin Luke 1:26-38, 46-55 Mary traded her life for her God Mary’s trust outweighed her fear Mary’s strength was in her humility Mary’s hope was in a past promise from a present God about a future of peace

Where Is Our Courage Born? The Example of the Husband Matthew 1:18-24; 2:13-24 Joseph’s heart outweighed his pride Joseph sacrificed his place as a father to be a child of God Joseph allowed the Spirit to lead Joseph was a great eagle in the middle of a great war Revelation 12:13-14

Where Is Our Courage Born? The Example of the Shepherds Luke 2:8-20 The Shepherds didn’t allow the fear of the moment to rob an experience of a lifetime The Shepherds allowed God to calm their fears The Shepherds left their livelihood to seek Jesus The Shepherds shared the glory of their God

Where Is Our Courage Born? The Example of the Magi Matthew 2:1-12 The Magi used their years of study to seek the Messiah The Magi chose allegiance with a child over a King The Magi abandoned earthly power to honor Christ

What Does Our Nativity of Courage Look Like? Is it full of willingness to give of one’s self based off the hope in Christ? Is it producing a heart that will soar over our pride? Will it seek Christ amongst the fear of a moment? Will it thrive on humility seeking Christ over earthly kings? Will you allow the Child to triumph the Dragon in your life? Revelation 12:9-12
