Isaiah 11:1-10
Merry Christmas to you and a big ''hello'' to our 11 a.m. service. I'm worshipping with Cross Church today and hopefully, the technology you're seeing causes all of us to focus on the message rather than the messenger. If you have a Bible, turn with me to Isaiah 11. We have asked you to share your Christmas holidays with us over the month of December. When we think of Christmas, we love the combination of Christmas and little children. Here are Ella Grace and Jack Prim, or should I say, ''Superman!'' Here is Eric and Cheryl McCarson and their two boys. Lastly, here is Obadiah Williams - the 1 year old son of Joey and Stacey Williams.

Isaiah was some 2,700 years ago. The story of Christmas is splashed across the pages of the Bible long before the Magi, the shepherds, or even Joseph and Mary make their first appearance. Listen carefully to this passage for you'll read about wolves, lambs, leopards, goats, calves, lions, cows, bears, cobras, and vipers. It's like the Jungle Book meets the Bible .

and a branch from his roots shall bear fruit.
2 And the Spirit of the LORD shall rest upon him,
the Spirit of wisdom and understanding,
the Spirit of counsel and might,
the Spirit of knowledge and the fear of the LORD.
3 And his delight shall be in the fear of the LORD.
He shall not judge by what his eyes see,
or decide disputes by what his ears hear,
4 but with righteousness he shall judge the poor,
and decide with equity for the meek of the earth;
and he shall strike the earth with the rod of his mouth,
and with the breath o ...
