The Cradle and The Cross
Life B-P Church Christmas Eve Service 
24th December 2025
Text: Philippians 2:5-11
 
I. Jesus’ Descent 
- Jesus came to seek and to save us from our sins and to reconcile us back to God
  1. He is fully God -“Who, being in the form of God…” (2:6)
  2. He became fully man - Took upon Him the form of a servant…made in the likeness of men. And being found in fashion as a man….” (2:7,8)
  3. He humbled Himself -“Made himself of no reputation” (2:7)
  4. Him became Man was no accident (Galatians 4:4-5)
  5. He kept the law perfectly to make us righteous (Romans 5:19)
  6. His shed blood has the power to cleanse our sins (cf. Hebrews 10:4)
  7. He understands us (Hebrews 4:15).
 
II. Jesus’ Death
- Jesus Paid the Price for Our Sin
  1. Obedient unto death
    • “Even the death of the cross” (2:8)
    • The cross was shameful and painful — yet chosen willingly (Isaiah 53:7)
    • Jesus bore our sins in our place (1 Peter 2:24)
  2. No limit to what God will do to demonstrate His love - “For he shall save his people from their sins” (Matthew 1:21)
 
III. Jesus’ Dominion
- Jesus Is Lord of All
  1. God exalted His Son
    • “Given him a name which is above every name” (Philippians 2:9)
    • Every knee will bow (Philippians 2:10–11)
  2. A personal response is required
    • Bow now in worship and be saved, or bow later in judgment

 

Offering for Missions

We thank God that Lifers are very generous in their offerings towards missions. In terms of support, the church gives priority to our fully-supported missionaries and we would like you to be aligned with the church’s position when giving towards missions. Rather than giving offerings that are designated to specific individuals or mission stations, you are encouraged to give to the Missions Fund and let the Missions Committee disburse them as it sees fit. Your understanding on this will facilitate an informed stewardship of resources for the Lord’s work in missions. If you wish to contribute financially to missionaries, please indicate "DO Missions" in the reference field in your e-Offering via the Life Church PayNow QR Code. May the Lord bless your cheerful giving.
