When God Put on Flesh (1 of 3)
Series: God's Perfect Gift

John 1:1-14
If you have your Bible, please turn to John chapter 1. We're starting a new series today for the Christmas season. We're calling it ''God's Perfect Gift.'' The Lord Jesus Christ is God's perfect gift - Emmanuel, God with us.

And Frank said, ''Me, too.'' He said, ''Are you Protestant or are you Catholic?'' And the man said, ''I'm Protestant.'' And Frank said, ''Me, too. What denomination are you?'' And the man said, ''I'm Baptist.'' And Frank said, ''Baptist??Me, too. Are you Northern Baptist or Southern Baptist?'' (laughter) He said, ''Northern Baptist.'' Frank said, ''Man, me, too.
