"IS THERE ROOM"
  by Pastor Tony Sutton

"Is There Room"

• Luke 2:1 And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be taxed.
• Luke 2:2 (And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.)
• Luke 2:3 And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city.
• Luke 2:4 And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of David:)
• Luke 2:5 To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child.
• Luke 2:6 And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered.
• Luke 2:7 And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn.

GREATNESS UNFOLDING

V 2-6 (2) A JOURNEY THAT WAS HARD AND RUGGED, FOR A MAN
THAT IS ESPOUSED TO A WOMAN THAT IS WITH CHILD
AND IT DOES NOT BELONG TO HIM AND FOR A WOMAN
THAT IS WITH CHILD. WE ARE SOMETIMES FACED
WITH SOMETHING THAT COST SOME ONE A GREAT DEAL

V 7 (3) MARY & JOSEPH WERE FORCED TO HAVE JESUS IN A
STABLE BECAUSE THERE WAS NO ROOM FOR HIM IN
THE INN IS THERE ROOM FOR JESUS IN YOUR LIFE?

BEHOLD I STAND AT THE DOOR AND KNOCK REV. 3:20

1. HUNGRY
2. THIRSTY
3. A STRANGER
4. NAKED
5. SICK
6. IN PRISON

     AS CHRIST IS PRESENTED TO US IN MANY DIFFERENT WAYS DO WE HAVE ROOM FOR HIM, OR WILL WE SEND HIM AWAY. CHRIST IS GOOD FOR MORE THAN JUST SALVATION. AFTER WE ARE SAVED IT DOES NOT MEAN WE ARE FINISHED. THIS IS MERELY THE BEGINNING.  THERE ARE MANY OPPORTUNITIES FOR US TO SERVE, AFTER ALL HE SURELY WENT A LONG WAYS OUT OF HIS WAY TO GET TO US
