In the Christmas Toys series, we have discovered how the entire world orients around Christmas – as a result you see the world one way or the other – based on what you believe about Christmas…on this Christmas Eve Sunday we drop in on the Christmas event and see how others experienced it. After all, it was just an ordinary day… THEN…
We have been talking about how to really celebrate Christmas during our “Christmas Toys” series. We are
learning lessons from the Word of God and discovering that some of the classic toys that kids played with can teach us a lot about Christmas as well. Today we dare to ask the questions that can change your life – do you have a God View of the world, your life, and your purpose? Whether you know it or not, those are Christmas questions and the answers to those questions are in the Christmas story!
Christmas Toys continues this week as we creep closer and closer to Christmas morning. This is an amazing time of year when the days are Merry and Bright! Think about it, for an entire month we get to hear about Jesus in moments that, any other time of the year, we wouldn’t. What are you doing with your Merry and Bright Days of Christmas?
Today we begin our new series entitled Christmas Toys…. The expectations, the anticipation, the lists, the wishes, the décor, the giftwrap, the lights, the music, and of course…. The toys are all a part of the Christmas celebration. Each of them create an almost magical season of the year that points to one place – a stable in Bethlehem. So get ready for a fun filled, nostalgic, and essential things to remember as we celebrate Christmas once again. We begin with snowfall and starlight… the stuff of a magical Christmas night….
It is the beginning of a New Year. The year that was has come and gone. You really didn’t have too much to do with the passing of time, but how you passed the time is what defined your year. So as we continue to think about Making the Season Bright, how can we honestly make this a year that will become one of the greatest years of our lives? Can that even happen? Dare we think it? Of course it can and we should!
