0:00.0	Known for his unique ability to simplify profound truth so that it can be applied to everyday life.
0:06.4	Adrian Rogers was one of the most effective preachers, respected Bible teachers, and Christian leaders of our time.
0:13.1	Thanks for joining us for this message.
0:15.3	Here's Adrian Rogers.
0:17.7	Christmas is spelled love. Christmas is spelled love. What is what is the Christmas message?
0:25.4	John 316, for God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son. Now, you're looking for
0:32.3	something to give somebody this Christmas. Why don't you give what God gave, give love? Give love. God so loved the world
0:42.5	that he gave his son and when he gave Jesus, he was giving us the gift of love. Our world is in

2:05.6	spiritual gifts with power that's what it's all about this this chapter is not just put in there
2:11.6	accidentally or just paul in the in the middle of a theological treatise on spiritual gifts is talking about love. Now, that's not
2:18.7	by happenstance. That's a strategy. There are three things I want you to see about love tonight
2:23.3	as we think about Christmas being spelled love. First of all, I want you to see the very virtues
