Christmas is an appropriate time to celebrate. Why were we made for celebration? What makes God celebrate?

Grace is a Gift
We all give gifts at Christmastime, but we have to set limits. You can't give to everyone. The gift of Jesus, on the other hand, is for everyone.

Rest
Our culture does not rest well. They call it "Christmas break" for a reason: we're supposed to stop and rest. This message is about how knowing your identity as a child of God enables you to stop striving and enjoy God-ordained seasons of rest.
