Matthew 1:18-25
Big Idea: There is no salvation without God’s sacrifice for me and there is no spiritual maturity without my sacrifice for God.
Because God is with me I embrace:
1) A Death Sentence (v. 18-19)
Because God is with me, I die to:
a) My Earthly Reputation
b) My Earthly Plan
c) My Earthly Desires
d) My People Pleasing
2) Inconveniences (v. 20-23)
3) Obedience (v. 24-25)
