Sermon/Lesson Title

Should We Celebrate Christmas?

The Christmas season is upon us.  We will often hear “Jesus is the reason for the season” and “Let’s put Christ back in Christmas.”  How should Christians respond?  Should we celebrate it at all?  Does God allow us to celebrate this holiday in certain ways?  These are important questions which deserve our careful consideration.

Each year, conversations about the season return. Some esteem a day to remember Jesus’ birth; others treat every day alike. Scripture calls me to be fully convinced in my own mind and to give thanks in either case (Romans 14:5–6). My aim in this lesson is to honor the Lord’s authority, walk in love toward consciences that differ, and use the moment to point hearts to the Savior.
