“Conceived by the Holy Spirit; Born of the Virgin Mary” —Rick Shenk, Member

Sermon Outline

Kernel: The Virgin Birth is neither “glitter” to decorate a religious event, nor is it God’s

admission that sex is vulgar and even sinful (as if God needed a means to avoid

transferring sin to Christ). Rather, the Virgin Birth is God’s glorious act that

confronts us with reality and reveals a God who loves us!
