    The Savior King
    Series: General
    Luke 2:11, 13-14
    - The birth of Jesus still matters.
    - Our lives matter.  We were born to make a difference in someone else's life.
    - If we don't get what we ask for (especially at Christmas) we already received Jesus.
    - We forget what we received as Christmas gifts, but never forget the gift of Jesus.
    - Jesus Christ is born, needs to be in the center of it all.
    - If Jesus is not in the center of our life, our life is off-centered.
    - Love motivates us to give the gift.
    - If there is no love in our giving, the gift means nothing.
    - We already got everything.  All else in our lives, the other stuff are just "extras."
