Text: Galatians 4:4-5
- This morning, I'm starting a short series leading up to Christmas. I'm calling this series, Miracles of Christmas. Over the next three Sundays we will look at: The Miracle of the Moment, The Miracle of the Message, and, The Miracle of the Manger.

If the timing is off, the quarterback won't connect with his receiver for a completion. It doesn't take a minute to throw off the timing in football. Think about the importance of timing for our daily lives. If you have ever missed a flight because you arrived one minute after boarding you know the importance of timing.
