The Miracle of God's Perfect Timing
Pastor Nik begins by discussing the first miracle, 'The Miracle of God's Perfect Timing'. He emphasizes the significance of God's perfect timing in the birth of Jesus, tracing back prophecies from the Old Testament that predicted the coming of Jesus, from the time of Abraham to the Garden of Eden. He highlights how these prophecies were fulfilled at the birth of Jesus, demonstrating God's perfect timing.
Pastor Nik also draws parallels between the timing of Jesus' birth and his own personal journey, sharing how he and his wife, Pastor Susan, were led to New York City 13 years ago. He emphasizes that God's perfect timing doesn't necessarily mean an easy life, as illustrated by Mary's solitary experience giving birth in a stable. However, he assures that life with Jesus, even with its challenges, is better than life without Him.

Good News for All
The sermon then moves on to the second miracle, 'Good News for All'. Pastor Nik refers to the angel's announcement to the shepherds as the good news that brings great joy for all people. This announcement signifies the birth of the Savior, the Messiah, the Lord. The shepherds' response to hurry off to Bethlehem to witness the miracle signifies their willingness to receive and spread this good news.

The Miracle of Willing Obedience
In the final part of the sermon, Pastor Nik Adwalpalker delves into the third miracle, 'The Miracle of Willing Obedience'. He emphasizes the importance of obedience in the Christian faith, using the example of Mary and Joseph's obedience to God's command to name and circumcise Jesus. He explains that if they had not obeyed, Jesus would have been out of compliance with God's spoken word and the law of Moses.
Pastor Nik further explains that our willing obedience has the power to impact the lives of others. He encourages the congregation to not just hear the Word of God, but to be willing to partner with it. He emphasizes that obedience should naturally follow if we truly love God.
