A Redeeming Faith
All I Want for Christmas
James Merritt
Romans 10:11-17
Introduction
1. Especially in America and many places around the world there is a question that is asked over and over and over. It is a question that lets you know immediately what time of year it is. You don't have to look at the calendar, or your watch or even look outside to see what season you might be in. The question is, "What do you want for Christmas?

You don't count the ones that you went in and exchanged for something else or just threw in the garbage can. (1)
3. Today, we are beginning perhaps the most unusual Christmas series I have ever done in my entire ministry. I am going to call it, "All I Want for Christmas.
