by Wayne Gaeddert

2. “For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.” Isaiah 9:6
3. Where you come from does not determine your destiny.
4. God can use the unknown, the broken, and cast away to make known His grace and mercy.
5. When God lifts you up—you can not be defeated.
6. Defeat in the near term does not represent the final battle.
7. Jesus was born in Bethlehem but has existed since eternity past.

• God’s people are perceived as a blessing to those who believe, but are perceived as a scourge to those who do not believe.
