There's a movement to "put Christ back into Christmas". Was Jesus ever in Christmas in the first place? Someone was born on December 25th, but was it Christ? Why would two gospels- Mark and John - totally omit Christ's birth? What do Christmas trees, Yule logs and mistletoe have to do with Jesus? Are traditional beliefs about the "manger scene" even correct? What was the meaning of the three gifts? You'll never think the same way about Jesus' birth - or of Christmas -after this message.

Without the right kind of saving righteousness, we will not be in the kingdom! Topics: importance of the Law in defining righteousness and its place in our ultimate righteousness. Can obeying the law justify, save us, or make us righteous to inherit God's kingdom?
