A survey in recent years shows that 63% of Americans claims themselves to be Christian, and yet only 4% self-identifies as followers of Jesus. Can someone be a Christian and yet not follow Jesus?

39:28

What is Christmas about? Jesus became flesh and dwelt among us, so that He can reveal who He is through us. Practically, we need to 1) pray up 2) plan to serve 3) expect to be uncomfortable and be ready to get over it 4) prepare to forgive and ask for forgiveness.

32:46

"Don't be afraid" was mentioned in the Bible 365 times. We are all highly favored by God like Mary. Is this significant enough to outweigh all the fears and concerns of dedicating our lives to God? Can our response be like Mary "I am the Lord's servant"?
