This document provides suggestions for gifts that can be given throughout the year instead of just focusing on receiving at Christmas. It recommends giving praise, understanding, kindness, personal presence, gratitude, prayer, forgiveness, being a good example, and love. These gifts are described as being more impactful than material presents. The greatest gift ever given is said to be God giving his son for salvation.

Christmas is such a wonderful time of the year. What if every day were Christmas? I wish it was because the poor would be better served, families would put aside their differences and joy would reign. In fact, in Christ Jesus, everyday IS Christmas!

Homily: The Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity Sunday 2024.docxJames Knipper
Countless volumes have been written trying to explain the mystery of three persons in one true God, leaving us to resort to metaphors such as the three-leaf clover to try to comprehend the Divinity. Many of us grew up with the quintessential pyramidal Trinity structure of God at the top and Son and Spirit in opposite corners. But what if we looked at this ‘mystery’ from a different perspective? What if we shifted our language of God as a being towards the concept of God as love? What if we focused more on the relationship within the Trinity versus the persons of the Trinity? What if stopped looking at God as a noun…and instead considered God as a verb? Check it out…

In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.
2. Forgotten at Christmas Acts 20:35 I have shown you in every way, by laboring like this, that you must support the weak. And remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that He said, 'It is more blessed to give than to receive.' " At Christmas – we focus on “getting” rather than “giving” Here are some gifts to give all year - FREE
3. 1 – Praise 1 Corinthians 11:2 Now I praise you, brethren, that you remember me in all things and keep the traditions just as I delivered them to you. 2 Chronicles 11:1-2 1 Now Josiah kept a Passover to the Lord in Jerusalem, and they slaughtered the Passover lambs on the fourteenth day of the first month. 2 And he set the priests in their duties and encouraged them for the service of the house of the Lord.
4. 1 – Praise Acts 4:36 And Joses, who was also named Barnabas by the apostles (which is translated Son of Encouragement), a Levite of the country of Cyprus, Joses was nicknamed Barnabas – because he gave the gift of praise and encouragement.
5. 2 – Understanding What most of us want – To be understood To be accepted – as is Undstand what I am going through, dealing with – put yourself in my place Walk a mile in my shoes.
6. 2 – Understanding 1 Kings 3:9, 12 Therefore give to Your servant an understanding heart to judge Your people, that I may discern between good and evil. For who is able to judge this great people of Yours?" 12 behold, I have done according to your words; see, I have given you a wise and understanding heart, so that there has not been anyone like you before you, nor shall any like you arise after you.
7. 3 – Kindness Ephesians 4:32 And be kind to one another , tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God in Christ forgave you. Romans 12:10 Be kindly affectionate to one another with brotherly love , in honor giving preference to one another; 2 Peter 1:7 to godliness brotherly kindness , and to brotherly kindness love.
8. 4 – Personal Presence I did not say - “presents” - gifts to receive Presence – just being there Sick, shut-ins, nursing home, hospital In times of grief It is not so much what you say, but it is your very presence that really matters.
9. 4 – Personal Presence James 1:27 Pure and undefiled religion before God and the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their trouble, and to keep oneself unspotted from the world. VISIT = more than chat for a few minutes Visit – see to their needs From same Greek word – as “bishop” and “overseer” - to look to their needs
10. 5 – Gratitude Ephesians 5:20 giving thanks always for all things to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, Luke 17:16-18 16 and fell down on his face at His feet, giving Him thanks. And he was a Samaritan. 17 So Jesus answered and said, "Were there not ten cleansed? But where are the nine? 18 Were there not any found who returned to give glory to God except this foreigner?"
11. 6 – Prayer There is nothing more powerful to tell someone than - “I am praying for you.” Song : For You I am Praying James 5:16b The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much. 1 Thessalonians 5:17 Pray without ceasing.
12. 7 – Forgiveness Ephesians 4:32 And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another , just as God in Christ forgave you. Examples : Parents – drunk driver killed their son Stephen as he was dying Jesus on the cross
13. 8 – Example 1 Corinthians 11:1 Imitate me, just as I also imitate Christ. We ARE to be the light of the world. We ARE to be the salt of the earth. “ I'd rather see a sermon than hear one anyday.”
14. 9 – Love 1 Corinthians 13:13 And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love . John 13:34-35 34 A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another ; as I have loved you, that you also love one another. 35 By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another ."
15. 9 – Love 1 Peter 1:22 Since you have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit in sincere love of the brethren, love one another fervently with a pure heart , Seek what is best for another
