Birthday Sermon

Sannothuan
3/7/08
Introduction:

Why do you celebrate your birthday? There are the most two important people we
should at least give thanks at our birthday:

The first person is: God


- Birthday is a time to remember who you are
- You are made lower than God.
 Psa. 8:3 ¶ When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers,
the moon and the stars that you have established;
 Psa. 8:4 what are human beings that you are mindful of them,
mortals that you care for them?
 Psa. 8:5 ¶ Yet you have made them a little lower than God,
and crowned them with glory and honor.
o whose you are.
o Psa. 127:3 Sons are indeed a heritage from the LORD, the fruit of the
womb a reward.
o You are the son of the King of kings.
o You are defined not by others and not by your success but by God.
- Birthday is a time to count God’s blessings in your life.
o Job 1:21 He said, “Naked I came from my mother’s womb, and naked
shall I return there; the LORD gave, and the LORD has taken away;
blessed be the name of the LORD.”
o You came out of your mother’s womb with a naked body. Now, you
have all these things.
The second persons are: your parents
o Birthday is a time to say thanks and honor to our presents as well.
Why? Because they are the hands of God to take care of you in this
world.
• Eph. 6:2 “Honor your father and mother”—this is the first
commandment with a promise:
 How do you honor your parents?
• Present a gift for them.
o The best present that you can ever give to your parents is
Obedience.
o Col. 3:20 Children, obey your parents in everything, for this is
your acceptable duty in the Lord.
o In everything, not sinful (Act 5:29).
 Duty of parents:
o Eph. 6:4 And, fathers, do not provoke your children to anger,
but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.
Conclusion:
Birthday a time to give thanks to (a) God and (b) parents.
1. God: you are God’s precious gift, the son of King of Kings.
2. Parents: Honor them by giving gifts. The best gift that you can ever give to
your parents is obedience.
3. Result:
a. Eph. 6:3 “so that it may be well with you and you may live long on the
earth.”
