Message “Christmas to Come”

Message 1 Corinthians 15:17–26 (ESV) 17 And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile and you are still in your sins. 18 Then those also who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished.

Message 19 If in Christ we have hope in this life only, we are of all people most to be pitied. 20 But in fact Christ has been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. 21 For as by a man came death, by a man has come also the resurrection of the dead. 22 For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ shall all be made alive.

Message 23 But each in his own order: Christ the firstfruits, then at his coming those who belong to Christ. 24 Then comes the end, when he delivers the kingdom to God the Father after destroying every rule and every authority and power. 25 For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet.

Message Genesis 3:15 (NKJV) 15 And I will put enmity Between you and the woman, And between your seed and her Seed; He shall bruise your head, And you shall bruise His heel.”

Message 24 Then comes the end, when he delivers the kingdom to God the Father after destroying every rule and every authority and power. 25 For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet.

Message Hebrews 2:14 (NKJV) 14 Inasmuch then as the children have partaken of flesh and blood, He Himself likewise shared in the same, that through death He might destroy him who had the power of death, that is, the devil,

Message 26 The last enemy to be destroyed is death.

Message Revelation 19:9 (NKJV) 9 Then he said to me, “Write: ‘Blessed are those who are called to the marriage supper of the Lamb!’ ” And he said to me, “These are the true sayings of God.”

Message

I see Your face in ev'ry sunrise The colors of the morning Are inside Your eyes

The world awakens in the light of the day I look up to the sky and say You're beautiful Oh…

I see Your power in the moonlit night Where planets are in motion And galaxies are bright

We are amazed in the light of the stars It's all proclaiming who You are You're beautiful Oh…

I see You there hanging on a tree You bled and then You died And then You rose again for me

Now You are sitting on Your heavenly throne Soon we will be coming home You're beautiful Oh…

When we arrive at eternity's shore Where death is just a memory And tears are no more

We'll enter in as the wedding bells ring Your bride will come together And we'll sing You're beautiful Oh…
