Counter-Cultural Christmas: Pushing Away Consumerism & Self-Centeredness
Season 1: Episode 4
Today on the podcast, we’re chatting about having a Counter-Cultural Christmas. How to push away consumerism and self-centeredness and focus on the real reason for the season, Jesus Christ.
Episode Highlights
God’s Character:
GOD IS OMNISCIENT- the quality of knowing everything. He knows your past, your present, and your future. Nothing catches him by surprise.
GOD IS SELF-SUFFICIENT- He possesses within Himself every quality, ability, and supernatural command with never-ending measure. God wants for nothing and lacks nothing; He is complete.
How we demonstrate our love is a reflection of God’s love at Christmas?
Gift-giving is only one demonstration of that love.
If your tendency is toward self-centeredness(heart) or consumerism(reorient the heart towards what really matters) is your temptation.
Self centeredness: Take the time to intentionally pause and set your heart on who God is and who is He is in this season.
Consumerism: Reorient the heart towards what really matters. SLOW DOWN. Minimize the distractions. How can I worship The One who came and is coming again today?
