I thank God for my amazing grandmother, that she was saved and raised her children to know Jesus and now I know and serve my Lord and savior Jesus Christ. As a child I never knew there were people that didn’t have the opportunity to know, and be raised to love Jesus, and know he loves them! I remember as a young girl, my grandmother would stand on her porch and everyone that would walk by, she would say “Do you know Jesus?” Do you know Jesus loves you?” And everyone would say “Yes Mrs. Bea!” She would go to the side of people dying in the hospital to make sure they were saved. An amazing woman of God.
Jesus ❤️ You are my best gift that I appreciate Your divine Presence and favor ❤️, I love You and throw myself at Your feet King Jesus ❤️ I seek Your Holy Spirit to strengthen me and Trust in Your Word and Promises 🙌 ❤️ 🙏
So glad My Jesus loves me enough that he came to this sinful place to be a sacrifice for my sin. That doesn’t give me free reign to sin but allows me to be forgiven because I’ve accepted Jesus into my heart. Merry Christmas to you and yours from our home in Alabama.
I liked his message.people around him were blessed to hear his connections to the celebration of Christmas. I am Glad that we have a savior .sins are forgiven.😊
We took it from the pagans to worship the only living trur God ,that came and died for those he created. I pray we can show the world that no matter what they worship, greed,tree,lights ,food. That we worship and praise God. It's the best we can do in our Gods kingdom work. It's here so let's show em what's real . Please . In Christ Love
At the end of the day, christmas is a man made holiday with no scriptural support. The greatest thing about Christ that he did for us was his death, burial and resurrection. Without this we would have no eternal HOPE of salvation.
I was born and raised in a committed Christian home where my parents lived their lives according to the Word of God in our home and I was taught the Bible. Although I have heard these biblical accounts many times, I love how Dr. Evans shares these truths in such a clear way and connects it to our lives. Thank you Dr. Evans for sharing your insights, wisdom and clearly you love the Lord Jesus and have a tight relationship with Him because your sermons are powerful!
AMEN✝️🙏. ANOTHER WONDERFUL SERMON WITH A CLEAR UNDERSTAND OF THE TRUE MEANING OF CHRISTMAS!!!!🎄☃️. ALL GLORY & PRAISE TO YOU LORD JESUS. LOVE & PEACE TO YOU TONY, WISHING YOU LOVE, & PEACE THIS HOLIDAY SEASON. 🙏🙏🙏
Amen! Grant me oh Lord today to be a true witness of your salvation that I received through faith by Grace, Jesus. All for your glory amen! Thank you, for the true meaning of Christmas.
❤️. Dr. Evans, Your illustrations often make me laugh to the point of tears!! Wishing a blessed Christmas Season to you, your family and Oakcliff Bible Fellowship church. PS. I am becoming a better person through your sermons. I believe you to be a man after Gods own heart.💒❤️🙏
(Jeremiah 10:3 KJV) For the customs of the people are vain: for one cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe. (Jeremiah 10:4 KJV) They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not. (Jeremiah 10:5 KJV) They are upright as the palm tree, but speak not: they must needs be borne, because they cannot go. Be not afraid of them; for they cannot do evil, neither also is it in them to do good.
The babies two and under weren't killed until 2 years after Jesus was born. We know Jesus wasn't born in December, let alone on the 25th. The Magi were astrologers who saw Jesus' star from when He was born, etc, and so on. The whole idea of "Christmas" is based on lies...why continue to perpetuate the lie? I understand preaching Christ and showering Him with our love and devotion every day, but us getting gifts and going broke for kids and people who don't need one more thing is pagan. It's self-indulgence when we are taught to be selfless. The one thing that caused me to stop the madness was that the sinners and all types of atheists and folks who curse Jesus in their hearts love this day as a time to be debauched and be selfish with no regard to our Savior, yet they mark it as the "Most wonderful time of the year," not because of Jesus, but because of the stuff they get. It breeds selfishness and ungratefulness. We can't put lipstick on a pig and call it Holy just because we want to do what everyone else (the world) does. We should take this time to do what the Word says, as the light, have nothing to do with darkness, be different than the world, come out of the world, and not partake in their worldly pleasures. This should be a time to tell people that this isn't something we practice and use it as a witness to tell people about the Good News of Jesus. Return the glory to God and off of ourselves. Shut down this overindulgence in food, presents, and everything else, and be set apart as God called us to be. Serve one another and help the lost and less fortunate. Tell the truth, for once.
@@josebarnica8091it’s literally a pagan holiday. Most of the “traditions” were rituals from that pagan holiday. Christians “adopted” the traditions. Then stores realized they could make money hyping up Christmas. That’s why you can’t fathom NOT buying useless gifts for people who already have things vs giving to the poor etc and telling NO ONE about it. And while you serve them you preach the gospel the whole time and come home to your family and the only gift you give is leading them in praise and worship till bedtime and reading scripture. See how “unfun” Christmas is when you PUT CHRIST in it…
This is why so few will make it into the Kingdom, If I was you I would read the scripture and not believe what man say. Just to touch on one of the wrong things this pastor said......Jer.10:1-5 Remember, "Let God be true and everyman a liar"
This pastor brings out a Lot of True revelations of the Word. Why celebrate what Scripture doesn't. Catholic Christianity had first established the Feast of Epiphany which is about Christ persay January 6th. Getting your blessings from a tree, an idol is not of the Most High. Don't blur the Truth..
Though I understand the intent, celebrating Christmas is a pagan tradition - something that those following Christ should not be partaking in. Not sure why pastors and church leaders continue to encourage and celebrate it when they are aware of the origin of most 'holidays'.
A Godly principle: you don't advance a lie for the sake of convincing others that Jesus is the Light of the World. The Mass of Christ, being pursued under the lie of a birthday celebration, does more harm to Christianity and legitimized the RC church's , less than truthful and honorable, heresy. Time for Christians to REPENT !!!! That would please the Saviour and nothing less. Away with COMPROMISE !!!
That is right Christmas is a pagan practise.Jesus Christ is not in Christmas nor did he say in The Holy Bible to commemorate it.The real memory is Passover.The truth in.the Bible says to celebrate or remember his death nothing said about his birth.
I'd love to know when was no sin on earth? According to the bible it was on earth soon as Adam and eve were.. I don't understand what people talk about when they talk as if sin just came to the world. It was here from the beginning
I'm sorry, I respect you greatly but Christmas is a pagan holiday, adopted by the church in the early 1800s. Adopted because the church was losing people and money
God bless you Pastor Evans but Christmas is a pagan holiday in the winter soltice months for a reason. Yeshua/Jesus was not even born in December but July as I'm sure you should know. Saturnalia day which it was originally called was banned in America until sometime in the 1800s and is a Roman holiday where men and women got drunk, had sex and exchanged gifts. This demonic pagan holiday has many roots that I encourage people to research for yourself. Jeremiah the 10th chapter talks about what the most high think of this pagan holiday that's a worship of men.
I'm surprised... "Christmas" isn't biblical. We gave it its meaning, not God. I enjoy the event, but please miss me with the "point". But... As long as Jesus is preached, I suppose.
“Christmas has been sanitized” and hats spot on..
Learn something new every day👏Swaddling cloths?! Wow
Thx a lot
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!
People make idols. Jesus is still God and He's the reason for the season. To God be the glory!

Christmas is an idol don't make it no more than what it is .
Thank You, Glad to see someone in the comment section with understanding.
??? Lord have Mercy on sister Lanell.

Y’all do know Christmas and Jesus have nothing to do with each other. This is where he loses me.

Exactly. Those are idol man made holidays.
I agree.
I agree
This holiday is not in our best interest!
We should celebrate Jesus every day of our lives!
Can I get the scriptures that are based on these thoughts?
Read your bible.
