I want to recommend to you this sermon by our pastor, Rev Ken Elliott, preached at the end of a Carol Service. It is a concise, and challenging sermon, on the Christmas theme, "No Room In The Inn."

By the way, please keep checking back with us, we are waiting for some software before we can start bringing to you the weekly sermons from Bethany.

Still on the Christmas theme, someone shared the following 4 "Fear Nots" of Christmas, and I want to pass them on.

The "Fear Nots" of Christmas

In the Christmas narratives, there are several "fear not's."

1. The "fear not" of salvation: "And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings...which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord" (Luke 2:10,11).

2. The "fear not" of the humanly impossible: "Fear not, Mary:... the Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee:...For with God nothing shall be impossible" (Luke 1:30, 35, 37).

3. The "fear not" of unanswered prayer: "Fear not, Zacharias: for thy prayer is heard; and thy wife Elisabeth shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name John" (Luke 1:13).

4. The "fear not" of immediate obedience: "Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife :.. Then Joseph ... did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him" (Matthew 1:20,24).
