5 Minutes of Christmas: Savoring Christ - Finding true joy in the ultimate gift, hint… it’s not your new 8K TV Artwork

Established in The Truth

Established in the Truth exists to help you know the Word deeply, love the church genuinely, and enjoy the Lord more fully.

New episodes every other Wednesday.

We explore theological topics, spiritual formation, Christian apologetics and real-life application in light of the Gospel and God’s Word. Our name comes from the Apostle Peter’s exhortation in 2 Peter 1:12: “I intend always to remind you of these qualities, though you know them and are established in the truth that you have.”

In a world full of voices, Scripture alone gives us the firm foundation, the deep deep well, we need. Like other biblical podcasts, The Authentic Christian, The Ten Minute Bible Hour, and The Bible Study Podcast, our aim is to strengthen your faith, deepen your understanding of God’s Word, and encourage you to walk faithfully with Christ.

5 Minutes of Christmas: Savoring Christ - Finding true joy in the ultimate gift, hint… it’s not your new 8K TV

December 22, 2022 • Season 6 • Episode 4

Finding true joy in the ultimate gift, hint… it’s not your new 8K TV.

Luke 2:10

Why great joy?

Salvation: God met our greatest need, forgiveness, by Jesus’ birth, death and resurrection.
Even as Christians, our natural inclination is not to obey and love God.

Fighting consumerism and materialism and enjoying Christ in the little things.

How do Christians avoid the worldly drive of Christmas?

Approaching Christmas with Christ-like generosity, trusting the Lord to use even the little things.
Godly vs. ungodly desires
God has wired us with desire, but those desires don’t ultimately satisfy us.

a. Psalm 23:1
b. Psalm 27:4
Applications: what we can do.

Enjoying gifts to the glory of God, reminded of eternity with Him.

2. Be generous, even in a small way, and ask the Lord to bless it!
