Christmas Eve Day Service
there's so many people out in this world that are doing their last minute preparations and just getting ready for this time that we celebrate and
as busy as the season is as I feel that it's important that we take the time just to pause here this day this time to stop in to think why does it that we're celebrating? Why do we have Christmas? We have so many people in this world are the businesses are like all we need Christmas cuz it's it's going to make it so we can make it through the year. We going to have to be able to turn a profit this year. We have people it's like almost the only time of the year that I get to see my family. Okay ballad reasons, but Black Friday will work for business Labor day works for visiting your family. What's special about Christmas Christmas is a special time and we love it. So cuz we get to give good gifts to each other the same way that God gave us an amazing gift.
I want to start off with a joke or to Durant just cuz I have the microphone and I get to inspect my sense so-called sense of humor on you. Is snow globes ever get scared? Answer of course being no, but sometimes it gets shaken. What did one Christmas tree say to another? You need to lighten up. And then what do you call a snowman with? No arms or legs? but pretty clear the Snow Bowl
so seriously. Thank you so much for allowing me the privilege of speaking here today and just for the many kindnesses you extend to my wife and I and these all of those of us who have the pleasure of serving here at Kingdom women's ministry here.
Christmas messages sometimes seem a little difficult after a few years ago on what's what can I start or say about like I talked about the shepherd's I talked about the wise men to talk about Mary Joseph. I can talk to about the donkey. Okay? Okay, that's fine. is what's the new thing about Christmas is that there's always something more to look at and new wonders through experience and to examine and
We were singing today and I didn't plan this with Janine, but she actually sing a song. I was hoping that you would actually have an opportunity to sing and it was actually last song here about o'holy night. And so I want to take a look at it's Christmas in our Carol's and let me song and I hope that we will realize that which it is that we have actually some of it and take it from our lips and into our brain and into a heart. There's lots of good songs out there for Christmas people people don't look that you weirdly or not as much weirdly when you walk around singing to yourself at Christmas time. Maybe they do a little bit more during the rest of your Christmas time. You're allowed to do that and they won't call for somebody with long sleeves that go behind your back. But first let me read you a passage here from the Bible hear from Matthew chapter 1.
This is how the birth of Jesus the Messiah came about his mother. Mary was pledged to be married to Joseph before they came together. She was found to be pregnant through the holy spirit because Joseph is her husband was faithful to the law did not want to expose her to Public Disgrace. He had in mind to divorce her quietly, but I'm sure he consider this an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream is that Joseph son of David do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. She will give birth to a son and you are to give him the name Jesus because he will save his people from their sins. All this took place to fulfill what the Lord said to the prophets the Virgin will conceive and give birth to a son and they will call him Emmanuel which means god with us. I just woke up. He did with the angel of the Lord commanded him and took Mary home as his wife, but he did not consummate their marriage until she gave birth to a son and she gave he gave him the name Jesus.
The world's the Christmas story is very odd. you see Kings traveling for many many miles to come and worship a baby BC Shepherd sitting out in their field agricultural specialist as it's where you might call them today and there's magical beings that appeared in the heavens above them and they wasn't going when going on a baby hunt. Things like this seem rather odd Minds biologically. A virgin does not give birth to a baby. It just does not happen without a lot of Technology assistance nowadays.
The nice thing about our Christmas our time. Is that it's real? This really happened Angels Came Down direct Messengers from God came down to earth to see. Mary just see Joseph to announce to them. What was going to be happening to them very you're going to be pregnant Joseph. Don't be afraid to take Mary as your wife what's in her is not from any natural means it's from the Holy Spirit Angels came down from heaven to the Shepherds and wise men saw stars in the star of the heaven that led them to realize. Hey something miraculous has happens. And it's true something miraculous had indeed happen.
But why did this happen?
We saying here just moments ago about Oh, Holy Night the stars are brightly shining. It is the night of our dear savior's birth. Long live the world in sin and error pining, so he appeared in the soul selfie. thrill of Hope the weary World rejoices for Yonder breaks in new and glorious morn
No, long live the world in sin and error pining the book of Romans says that for all his sins and fallen short of the glory of God.
Did you know? that you were included in all there's no exceptions all means all we've all said we've all fallen short of the glory of God.
I noticed two things just reading that one verse that all have sinned and fallen short of the glory got the first idea. Is this the idea of sin and then there's the idea of God's glory and never that you should needs.
Never the glory of God cannot abide the presence of sin.
God is righteousness for Humanity has a tendency to be also be generous and see unrighteous. We don't have we have small children. Will you see them? You don't have to teach a small child how to be bad generally speaking, right? You see the misbehaving often? They don't know we have a national bench as humans to be
Now that it's been that way ever since the fall of Man ever since Adam and Eve for sending the garden and that does not change.
But that doesn't matter because God is still God. He is who he is. He's still righteous in his righteous quality never changes no matter how we behaved.
even when God is giving out punishment for doing wrong in Romans 3 always talks about
How old is that God is righteousness even doing the righteous the judging from its 3 here. It says if our righteousness brings out God's righteousness more clearly. What should we say that God is unjust and bring his wrath on us. I'm using a human arm and it's certainly not if that were so how could God judge of the rule?
didn't matter if your part of the family of God the people of God the Israelite Nation. Or if you were Gentiles somebody who was not associated with it at all. It doesn't matter. We've all sinned she makes this conclusion to ensure that everyone's made aware that the right choice is to make through the law yet everyone failed. The law the laws of God. The laws that said this is right. This is wrong.
The nice thing about Jesus birth and arrival. Is this that he didn't stay at for baby, right?
The law that condemned us to death was nullified. It was fulfilled because God's righteousness revealed through Jesus Christ meant that we become righteous. We all said we all fall short of the glory of God, but we're all Justified freely by his grace to the Redemption that is in Jesus Christ. Jesus is with the next verse says we can understand the word grace is undeserved favor. And the rest of this passage in Romans Paul makes the case that a person's actions. Don't learn them God's favor. So many people in this world think if I do such-and-such, I will earn the favor of God if I do such-and-such, I will be a good person and I won't go to hell. Many other religions other than Christianity say do and then you will be saved. We are difference. We say we are saved and so we do.
Jesus Redemption on a person's face in the compass. No, he points out the fact then as well that no one believed her is above another I'm standing on a platform above you today, but I'll have you know that the ground at the foot of the cross is level. You have all sinned.
We think of Gods. Glory we all fall short
We weren't even the word Glory been suspected of very great praise honor and distinction bestowed by Common consent and with sin people Morrow their ability to reflect the image of God within themselves. This is how we fall short of God's glory. The reason Hall understand the effects of sin and why we can as well as house in Leeds leads us in a relationship. You must like Adam and Eve sin leads us the separation from his righteousness.
A god did not abandon. The consequence of this Adam and Eve did not abandon. The consequence of feeling physically emotionally spiritually distance from him alone. You might feel that but you're not because he's here with us. Why? What is the name of that we read or say about earlier today Emmanuel God is with us.
The more that we become aware of Citizen ourselves, the more that we can work to change your ways and work to glorify God by turning to God and Faith end in prayer and our faith in Christ. Justifies us forgot. It makes us so that we are right in his presence.
Why do we need to be reminded of that?
The answer lies in the same reason that we today need to be reminded that everyone has sent there for no believer is better than another. We understand this from Paul. And we understand it from The Words of Christ that we have received from Jesus that you greatest Commandments. He says in the Book of Matthew. He's responding to a question teacher. What is the greatest commandment in the law? And Jesus replies love the Lord your God with all your heart with all your soul. And with all your mind. This is the first and greatest Commandments and a second is like it love your neighbor as yourself all the law and the prophets. Hang on these two Commandments. If Loving ourselves Is the greatest loving others for me is the greatest commandment. We cannot fulfill that by putting ourselves above others. We love God and we love others so that they can love God and they can love others. There's a reason why we have that as our slogan catchphrase by words to that this assembly because we had me count them equal to us.
I said already this the ground is level at the foot of the cross. It didn't matter what your sin is or was you might have killed somebody you might just have a tendency to share prayer requests. It doesn't matter.
Brownstone level are you still falling short of God's glory the sin within you Mars the reflection of God to the world's do we recognize that everyone being so everybody has their own unique struggles. No one's without fault and this idea promotes humility and promote Unity among the Believers if everybody has struggles and we can come together as a community for support that's part of the reason why it's so important that we come together as an assembly as as Believers together, but we have is something that the world can offer they can offer, you know, maybe a night out at the bar and you can all get deeper into send together. Okay misery loves company. I think it's a phrase that I've heard for. That one is you all wake up a next morning and go. Oh my aching head or something. I don't know. It doesn't make sense to me to do that at the same time. We know that we can share the church. We all know that we all have the same struggle. We all have the same need for God we can lean on each other for me. Call support that's why it's so important because we know together we all need. And we know individually we all need. That was perfect. That person is not only a mere man. It was Jesus the Christ. He was fully man and feel like God if we think that we have lived a sinless life, you know. Oh, I don't know. Maybe maybe my wife is perfect while she might have a different opinion. But the same time we we know that this would be contradictory scripture is that would put us on the same level as Jesus and only Jesus is perfect. Only Jesus is Cinemas. It makes room for us to seek Jesus. It makes her investor us to strive to be more like Jesus. And it reminds us as well of the grace of God is undeserved favor. Which informs our actions and are not meant to be transactional we can do things and then expect God to give us what we want. I know some people in this world. It's like you do accidentally why you scratch my back. I'll scratch yours. I think you probably heard that phrase a million times by now and then your life but it doesn't work that way with God. Our relationship with God is not equal in the sense that God is giving us just as much as we give him. According to Paul at our blessing on our part because our unrighteousness never stops God from being righteous. He may bless us even more in those moments when we feel undeserving.
How it is that we are does not change who God is.
We receive the gift of Jesus at Christmas time. Because not that we deserve it. But because he want to come to save us to be our replacement for are in the punishment for arson to receive the punishment that was due to us. There's no work so we can do to earn the Salvation to be made right with God. He does not need us we need him. Without these actions that we take being able to justify us. The only thing that saves us then is the face that we have in him and what we have having him as a relationship that carries out that we carry out the works that we do the good works. You see the food banks the hospitals all all these things. That's the world never even conceived of but we did as because not because we work great but because we saw the within each person The fact that they needed Christ they need to be showing the love of God. but even the idea of a hospital We have a university hospital couple clicks down the road from us amazing facility world's world class. You're the first hospitals were created. and instituted by Christians in the days of old. I accept the person history mess and I'm going to die die Grass Valley.
You were left. Either you had a family are you had a doctor who we would probably call at 5?
If you knew you had your family look after you for what if you have no family. And does your family know how to take care of whatever is ailing you either be injury or disease or symbol or beige, whatever.
But because people saw within something precious in the in the side of each person the same. Thing that was within each of us that Jesus died for is that he you are a value. I want to help you. I see you suddenly. I see you suffering. I see your healing and let me come alongside you and help you.
That was for free.

So he appeared and a soul health is worth. thrill of Hope the weary World rejoices for Yonder breaks a new and glorious morn City Christmas morning December 25th is when we smoke weed.
Got a fresh battery.
December 25th Christmas morning wonderful morning people look forward to it when they are children wants to know what's coming and it's always wonderful because they know that's those that love them will try to do for them the best that they can now this is the coolest toy ever. Am I receive a buddy who's got a family has more time together. Maybe it's the single mother working the two jobs Christmas day and just be with your child for once. I have to give them the key and say come home to an empty house for once doing this morning. That's we have that people. Look forward to. But even more than that. This new and glorious warned that we look for that we celebrate is the morning where Jesus into the world. But once again as we can have god with us Emmanuel God With Us the relationship that was under the first taste of the forbidden fruit is now restored the penalty for what we have done wrong as being paid the love that God has for us and now be expressed more fully in his life and our lives because he has stepped down out of heaven. Into a small stable that was founded with the babies cry when bleeds in the movie night.
last verses of Matthew
they're talking about the Great Commission. When people's eyes like that and teaching them to obey everything that I've commanded you and surely I am with you to the very end of the age
He is with us the very end of the game. We are not alone. I don't like the coop that phrase so we are not alone.
No matter what the world around us. No matter what the world around us. We are not alone.
Even in the darkest and coldest systems of man. We are not alone. You any snap with her? When George h.w. Bush was vice president a year before he was elected president gets ended the funeral of the Soviet leader Brezhnev. And the July 18th 1987 issue of Washington Post reported his comments about the funeral and he said this. An amazing thing happens things were run to a military Precision coldness and columnist pervaded the ceremony marching soldiers steel helmets Marxist rhetoric, but no prayers no comforting hymns. No mention of God. I happened to be in just the right spot to see Mrs. Brezhnev said she walked up truck one last look at her husband and their and the cold green center of that totalitarian states. She traced the sign of the cross over her husband's chest. I was stunned and that simple act God had broken through the core of the Communist system. And just a few years later. the whole system Came Crashing Down Darin curtain was gone. We need not. You're any Earthly power because this new and Glorious Day Has Come As a new and glorious morn. When Christ is with us, Emmanuel.
Led by the light of extremely beating with bluing Hearts by his cradle. We stand so led by a light of a star sweetly leaving here come the wise men from Oriental and the King of Kings lady that's in lowly manger and all our trials born to be our friend. He knows our need to our weakness is no stranger behold your king before him slowly been before I'm only been
the King of Kings Layla and lowly Manger
He knows our need. Or weakness is no stranger.
Bible talks about a concept that
Is a nice fancy Greek term for it, but whatever if you want the $10 word. And it's described this way in the book of Philippians that Jesus who being in the very nature. God did not consider a quality with God's something to use to his own Advantage rather meet himself Nothing by taking the brain nature of a servants being made in human likeness and being found an appearance as a man. He humbled himself became obedient even to death on the cross therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name with the name of Jesus every knee should bow in heaven and on Earth and under the Earth and every tongue of knowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord the glory of God the Father.
He knows what it's like to be a human.
the person Who was the bread of life? Got hungry. The person who's the water that comes up from within us by Spirits you got thirsty.
The person who? Created the universe. And all that's there in.
I've learned how to walk and talk.
unlike some mythological God Replace God Jesus. In a specific place at a specific time. when the time was right, that's when it happened. There was no common language the Greek and Roman Empires to come and gone and the Greeks left behind their language the Romans Left Behind roads, and a degree of security is so that the messenger of God could come in from one isolated part of the Empire to spread around literally the World by this point, but from that isolated part of the Empire to the ends of the Empire and Beyond in the book of Acts be don't see what happens to the rest of the Apostles, but history tells us some of them went like Thomas went to India, which is like A long ways outside the Roman Empire as far as they could to the ends of the world for filling what God told him to do to go to the ends of the world. But he was the King of Kings. I believe that's in a lowly Manger. He knew our needs he's no stranger to what it is to be human because if we had God. That could sympathize with us that is far more effective than a God. That's just as a huge. I wrote a lot. Why did you break it?
He was tempted in all manner like as we are yet was without sin.

Maybe another story would be helpful. During World War II all across the United States.
Banners were hung in the windows of homes were young men had gone off to the service. You might remember even seeing it in some films like Saving Private Ryan. I remember there's a small scene in there where you can actually see the banner that she has but I think she has five stars girl blue. There was a blue star for each son that I don away and a gold one. If he wasn't coming back.
One evening a young boy was walking down the street with his father. And the stars in the banners caught his eye and after a time, he began counting them.
When do he announced and one in the next he talked his little hands and shouted Oh, Daddy, look, there are three stars in that house and he ran up and down the Avenue pointing of stars and clean his daddy along. And they reached the house that Uncle Tim. Look at that big house that has lots of windows, but there's not one star not even one why Daddy? The father thought for a moment and then replied I guess they don't have a son to give.
Daddy was getting the feeling that his little boy was too young to understand the meaning of all those through Stars anyway. after all How does one explain to a five-year-old the loneliness the hopes and fears on the other side of those stars in the window?
And they came to a vacant lot. There were no houses and no windows in which to hang service banners. But in the distance was a stretch of sky where one evening star bright League load. Looks a little boyfriend. When do that means God gave us unto

The slave is our brother and in his name. All oppression is Chelsea's. Why? Because he is Emmanuel he is god with us we may lack the power to do things, but he does not the chains of sin overcome because God Is With Us chains of addiction overcome because God is with us. Our lack of faith our doubts are overcome because God is with us. We look at the things of this world. We say that they cannot be accomplished by human hands, but they can why? Because God is with us Emmanuel God is with us.
When we put our hand in the hands of the savior in the hand of The Man From Galilee. You won't be disappointed. He will save us to accompany. Yes, you will take us through whatever the challenge Maybe.
But could I have this way?
Give me study the history of the Savior from a thousand different angles and each Observer. Every Viewpoint will find he expresses some feature of God.

and it doesn't matter your state but you're doing
What you're seeing whatever your toes you took going through he still with you and there's something new and exciting and vital to learn about him.
Read this verse cousin talk about the slave being a brother and during the lead-up to the u.s. Civil War this made this carol very popular with those who were fighting against the institution of slavery. And although the institution of slavery now is no longer openly practiced at least here in Canada that human trafficking still exists and is still a Scourge upon the face of the Earth.
But we take heart because we have the examples of the slaves and the US deep spoke at that time. We look to the time when they would be in the presence of the Lord.
when
Be with no longer be bound by the slave as a slave.
But we look around our world today. I love the chains of metal may be absent there are so many other change that still are more prevalent and sometimes far more difficult to break. the chains of sin
the pain of the lack of Hope That's probably the worst one I can think of is the lack of Hope.
But we take heart because he's overcome the world. We have the Blessed. Hope of belonging to Jesus. We are Heirs of the promise. We are children of God, then through faded and one day. Jesus is coming back dirty nails going to stay at all things rights. But worship around the Throne of God into eternity. Sometimes especially here in an affluent country such as we have here in Canada. We can comfortable we like this world. But even the most comfortable person in this world will realize that there's something wrong with it if they are honest with themselves. The greatest social media influencer. Oh my goodness.

I'm going to give away ex million dollars this year because it feels good to feel good. isn't a lot of this money that you've been searching for for your whole life something that you've been striving for is not satisfying you.
Doesn't satisfy the things of this world will never satisfy because her heart is longing for what it is. That is real what it is. That is truly the void
Christ is the Lord. Praise His name forever his power and Glory Evermore Proclaim his power and Glory Evermore Proclaim. This is the only possible response. the realization that we have been saved our great God deserves. No, less we can give no more.
It is he who has power and Glory? It's no wonder that the Angels Sing his praises. See it is only our eyes would be open to seeing what it is that they see and one day we will. I look forward to that day. One day we will we will claim forever his wonders.
Cuz we have something to celebrate that those angels do not have they see Jesus face-to-face. They see him in his manifold Glory but as great as I does that might be as wonderful as might be the praise all that. They can't praise God and Proclaim his wonders. Out of his love for us.
That fact they can't praise him from his saving us.
are the ones he saved are the ones that he died for that he rose again for
Jeffrey Bull my missionary into that was captured by the Chinese Communists when they invaded Tibet in 1950. And he was taken to a small house built into a tree. I have a weird place, but at least there are architectural standards, but he was taken to an upstairs room. And that's where he stayed and then when it was dark one night. He was ordered downstairs to give hay to the horses They climbed down the tree trunk to the lower floor, which was given over to the stable. And it was Pitch Black. Is Boots supposed to mean you are a lot stronger, Florida? The stench of animals was nauseated. He felt his way among the mules and horses expecting to be kicked at them any moments. Auto Place
as he's groping his way through the darkness. What is today? During his travels after his capture. His mind had become muddled then it hits. It's Christmas Eve. I stood in that stable is mind reeling. I think that the Savior was born in a place just like this. Jesus came to Heaven, left heaven and came to Earth. He laid down his scepter of power in exchange for a piece of broken straw in the baby's hands the Angels playing one last Hallelujah Chorus, but in the manger, all I heard was bellowing of cattle. all the hosts of Heaven bow down to worship Him But in Bethlehem, they were just a few Shepherds. Reminded of all that Steve with gratitude and new understanding Nelson the mud in the Slime that may Journey sing Oh Come All Ye Faithful. Joyful and triumphant, He'll come here to Bethlehem.
Later on and interviewing at these things.
It was to a place like this. Then that Jesus came I seem to never I seem to forget about being a prisoner the stable had become a holy place and I could only bow down and worship and praise.
Slowly I made my way back up the stairs and laid down strangely content to sleep on the floor boards. Show me God have met me again. And I thought about it all words for my Boyhood days came back to me. Love to the uttermost. Love to the uttermost love past all measuring his love must be. From Heaven's highest glory to Earth's deepest shame This Is The Love of My Savior to me.
He is Emmanuel. He's God With Us.
the world in sin and error pining
