[2005.88 --> 2012.88] O Lord, I bring an offering to you |
[2012.88 --> 2030.88] O Lord, I bring an offering to you |
[2030.88 --> 2046.56] I would love to invite all the kids to come forward if you are willing. |
[2046.92 --> 2048.44] Come meet me up here just for a minute. |
[2049.04 --> 2050.98] We'll have a quick chat here for a second. |
[2050.98 --> 2055.44] On this Christmas day, here comes a bunch. |
[2060.88 --> 2070.08] Merry Christmas, everyone. |
[2070.08 --> 2073.18] Oh, you know what? |
[2073.22 --> 2075.94] You guys are way louder when I have a dog puppet up here. |
[2077.02 --> 2078.42] Merry Christmas, everyone. |
[2079.10 --> 2080.18] Merry Christmas. |
[2080.70 --> 2082.38] Now, I have a quick question for you all. |
[2084.56 --> 2086.96] Did any of you open any presents this morning? |
[2087.72 --> 2087.94] Yeah? |
[2088.14 --> 2089.80] How many of you opened presents already? |
[2089.80 --> 2092.56] How many of you are going to open presents soon? |
[2093.60 --> 2095.70] Now, why do we open presents on Christmas? |
[2096.20 --> 2099.42] That's a normal thing, but why do we do that? |
[2109.78 --> 2110.18] Yeah? |
[2111.58 --> 2113.02] Oh, we're going to get a whole rundown. |
[2114.24 --> 2115.18] Oh, wow. |
[2115.40 --> 2116.18] That's exciting. |
[2117.60 --> 2118.16] I know. |
[2118.16 --> 2120.22] Oh, so some people open at Christmas, presents Christmas Eve. |
[2120.28 --> 2121.16] Some open Christmas Day. |
[2121.36 --> 2122.52] Why do we open them at all? |
[2124.28 --> 2126.32] Because, oh, you are so good, Haley. |
[2126.50 --> 2131.02] We open presents because Christmas is the day that we got the gift of Jesus. |
[2131.66 --> 2133.82] Do you remember some of you were in children's worship time on Sunday, |
[2133.88 --> 2136.78] and we talked about how Jesus is our forever king. |
[2137.26 --> 2138.20] Do you know what Jesus did? |
[2139.20 --> 2140.34] Jesus came. |
[2140.46 --> 2142.66] He was already our king before he was born. |
[2142.66 --> 2147.22] He came down from a throne in heaven, the Bible says, to become a baby. |
[2147.94 --> 2148.72] Isn't that something? |
[2148.80 --> 2150.92] And he did that to save us all from our sins. |
[2151.12 --> 2155.40] So he was a king, and then he came down to earth to be a baby king. |
[2155.96 --> 2160.64] And then he died on the cross and rose again and went back to heaven to continue to be our king. |
[2160.94 --> 2163.04] So he's not just our forever king going forward. |
[2163.14 --> 2164.44] He was our forever king forever. |
[2164.44 --> 2168.50] And then he came, and he became a baby for us. |
[2168.54 --> 2169.22] Isn't that something? |
[2169.98 --> 2170.54] Isn't that something? |
[2170.64 --> 2175.32] So that's what we're celebrating today, and that's what we're going to hear Pastor Chris talk about in his message. |
[2175.40 --> 2178.48] So I'm going to pray, and then today we're going to sit back with our parents, |
[2178.56 --> 2182.30] and we're going to listen to Pastor Chris talk about the meaning of Christmas for us today, okay? |
[2182.48 --> 2186.50] If you didn't, there are some activities at the children's worship time booth that you can do. |
[2186.70 --> 2188.32] I think there's some stickers and stuff like that. |
[2188.38 --> 2191.40] So you can go grab those as well after we pray if you want, okay? |
[2191.78 --> 2192.30] Let me pray. |
[2192.30 --> 2194.56] Dear God, thank you so much for this day. |
[2194.66 --> 2199.68] Thank you that we could be here today on Christmas Day, so excited to celebrate your birth, God. |
[2199.72 --> 2203.22] And we just, we pray that you'll help us remember that you are our forever king, |
[2203.28 --> 2206.30] that you came down from the throne of heaven to become a baby for us, |
[2206.78 --> 2212.70] to eventually grow up to a man, to die on the cross, and to rise again for all of our sins. |
[2212.80 --> 2216.42] And God, may we remember that this is the day that you are the greatest gift that we could receive. |
[2216.76 --> 2217.78] We pray this in your name. |
[2218.44 --> 2218.80] Amen. |
[2218.80 --> 2219.00] Amen. |
[2219.66 --> 2220.08] All right. |
[2220.74 --> 2221.28] You know what? |
[2221.38 --> 2221.80] Let's do it. |
[2221.80 --> 2223.48] We do this at our church all the time. |
[2223.56 --> 2224.14] Let's do it anyways. |
[2224.20 --> 2225.78] We're not going anywhere, but let's all stand up. |
[2225.86 --> 2229.06] We're going to do the blessing because there's some guests here that I think need to be blessed by the kids. |
[2229.54 --> 2230.78] So we're going to stand here. |
[2230.86 --> 2233.08] We're going to put our hands like this, and I'm going to count to three, |
[2233.14 --> 2235.64] and we're going to say together, the Lord be with you, okay? |
[2235.74 --> 2236.22] Are you ready? |
[2236.52 --> 2237.64] We're going to say this to the church. |
[2237.92 --> 2239.10] One, two, three. |
[2239.48 --> 2241.46] The Lord be with you. |
[2242.18 --> 2243.50] All right. |
[2243.50 --> 2244.78] You can go back to your parents' seats. |
[2244.78 --> 2246.38] All right. |
[2251.80 --> 2264.28] Good morning. |
[2264.82 --> 2265.36] Good morning. |
[2265.48 --> 2266.18] My name is Dave. |
[2267.14 --> 2271.54] I am an elder at this church, and I get to lead you in our church family prayer. |
[2271.54 --> 2272.96] Will you pray with me? |
[2272.96 --> 2281.70] Father, it is with great joy that we gather on this Christmas day. |
[2282.10 --> 2285.72] It is a time that we join with Christians of all times and of all ages, |
[2285.96 --> 2288.40] and we celebrate the profound importance of this day, |
[2288.90 --> 2292.96] that Jesus chose to take on human form, taking on the very nature of a servant. |
[2292.96 --> 2298.50] It is a marvelous thought that the word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. |
[2299.18 --> 2301.38] Like the shepherds, we hear the message from the angels. |
[2301.74 --> 2304.70] I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. |
[2305.22 --> 2307.76] Today in the town of David, a Savior has been born to you. |
[2308.12 --> 2309.36] He is Christ the Lord. |
[2310.26 --> 2313.26] And because of this good news, we sing with the angels, |
[2313.84 --> 2318.22] glory to God in the highest and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests. |
[2318.22 --> 2323.68] Father, even with the joy of Christmas, we need to confess that we are sinful people. |
[2324.48 --> 2328.84] It is because of human sin and human rebellion that we need to be reconciled to you, |
[2329.18 --> 2330.94] and that Jesus needed to come down, |
[2331.50 --> 2336.74] and that the child in the manger needed to grow, live a humble life, and die on a cross. |
[2337.66 --> 2342.82] We confess that we get caught up in the many distractions and the excess of this season. |
[2343.54 --> 2345.56] Help us to remember the real purpose of Christmas, |
[2345.56 --> 2349.36] to celebrate the very humble beginnings of our faith in a stable. |
[2350.66 --> 2353.64] Father, we come to you because we have many reasons to be thankful. |
