Christmas Eve 2010: Will I Make Room for Jesus?
Delivered on 12/24/2010
Part 5 of the series 5 Questions That Determine Your Destiny
Even though the prophecy of God coming to earth in human form had been foretold for thousands of years, there was no room for him when he finally arrived... The innkeeper wouldn't make room for the most important event in our history!
It's a shocking thing to hear, but if we thoroughly examine ourselves, we'll likely find that we aren't making room for Jesus in our lives either... at least not as often as we should.
