Why going to Bow press this coming December 25. We're trying to create a tradition here at tradition. Hope our church. And I think this is a good tradition. Amen. And we hope will be able to continue that to bring joy and memories to our friends at Bow, press my goal on preaching in on this subject on the things that we got you what you're going to hear this morning is to add traditional so to our church and we want to Define District tradition. We want to to have this tradition in a way that we know it is coming also from the word of God. So yeah, how can we tell that Christmas is really on there. Can we really say that though? It looks it's becoming to Look Alot Like Christmas by what measure or how do we get you? So those are the question that we want to understand so that that's we celebrate Christmas. We will celebrate it. In a more biblical in a more Godly way. Amen. I don't have a particular. Scripture we will go be going from one speaker to another not much. This message will be very simple. It is partly a message that I want to talk to you if I will give you given an opportunity to come to you and talk about Christmas.

We will be talking about the the birth of the Lord Jesus Christ. So how fast is stablished Asap Church in as individuals?
apartment of Christmas celebration that pleases you so that we will be able to afford to own or you end
relieved by ourselves or detach ourselves on those kind of Celebration that it doesn't really give honor and praises to you our God for we know and we understand that Christmas is hope you're doing It was your decision. to have the first Christmas so father help us and open our hearts and Minds about this in Jesus name. Amen. And amen. Please be seated.
So brothers and sisters, how do we celebrate Christmas?
muscle pass
must have knowledge on why we celebrate Christmas a man. Basically, we understand that it is the birth of Christ. We're celebrating the birth of Christ. But we but what we know and understand about about it seems not being reflected in our celebration. It is about the birth of Christ. It is about the Incarnation. Of God through the Sun.
Bob we know that the celebration that is happening year after year is really the thoughts from it's really a sense. For those who did not grow up here in Canada. Do you still remember how Christmas being celebrated how Christmas is being celebrated in the Philippines? And then no. So now I don't know what eggnog what eggnog eggnog face.
Baselite and I don't really care. Although I don't mind it if I will be given a chance to do they say it.
I don't know what particular part of you know of our country the Philippines you were from. But I believe we are missing a lot of us are missing that kind of Celebration that we had when we were a lot younger or even before we came here and comparing how Christmas is being celebrated here in Canada. Between the celebration we had in the Philippines for sure. If you will ask our response will be no comparison. If I even brought that all Christmas starts when the bird months comes so basically it starts in December or December September. Amen some radio station. I remember when I was growing up it starts to are you know Christmas music We missed the Philippine tradition and culture about Christmas. We miss our families. We miss our friends. We miss the seasonal Foods. A man who would not miss. Naughty Buena and I'm with the queso de Bola see that's the reason why I'm speaking Spanish a while ago.
A man don't work on. Hey, man. die in potatoes and so much more Who would not miss or who will not miss? Benito manitas
and the photo boom boom
foods that you can only find in the Philippines. Well, of course you can found it here also, but it still made by Filipinos. but even we have all those this Christmas we still miss Christmas Eve. Our celebration is devoid of Christ. Amen. We agree with that brothers and sisters. Your bar celebration is devoid of Christ of the purpose of his coming.
Then we're not really actually celebrating Christmas at all. No brothers sisters. Don't get me wrong. There are good Traditions that we do during Christmas season. We give gifts. We got hurt with families and friends. We try to show love we are 10 parties and basically there's nothing wrong with that with that but even though this This forms of Celebration are short defining. Christmas I love Christmas personally brothers and sisters. I tend to become emotional during Christmas time. And the reason for that is I've been away for almost 14 years meaning I haven't celebrated Christmas with my parents. and siblings that long and I think so. I will be celebrating Christmas all along this year. Hey man, come on guys. You're not invited. Okay?
Let me blunt. Let me be different. No.
Did you know that two two weeks ago or will we have a break-in in our house? groups of people forced himself
to come into our house
How dare them?
anyway
Hello brothers and sisters. I have a lot of good memories and I believe you can share yours too if you will be given up. Unfortunately growing up from a very loving parents and my siblings and I had so many wonderful Christmas as all those memories. And I'm hoping to experience it again with them. And again, despite of all the joys and happiness. I have experience. About Christmas wild wild growing up now in the Philippines that they pickle Filipino Christmas where you're looking forward to to hold the hands of your godfather and godmother and then pay your respect them and in return receive something in the envelope. A certain amount that you will be happy regardless after the of the amount. And then we will be able to relieve those again. It's all fall short from the real meaning of what Christmas is.
In The Way, We Were if it is being celebrated, that's why today I want to spray from the word of God. And also I want to speak coming from my heart. I just want to give you suggestion today and I hope you will open your heart and your mind and I hope you will take the challenge. I hope you will you will take that idea. I just want to give suggestion I-80. This is not a command. But I hope you will consider because my purpose and hope for sharing this simple teaching you simple message this morning. It's to help us develop our own tradition as a church and as individuals that is based a tradition of celebrating Christmas that is based in the scripture. We need to incorporate our knowledge and understanding of the word of God to our daily life and that includes our celebration of the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ. Hey, man, we're trying to live by the word of God, so There's no point in our lives that we will not include those knowledge or those learnings we had from the scripture. So here are my suggestions brothers and sisters. I will only give you three and I hope all these three points will be considered first.
Learn the real meaning of Christmas as we count, you know as we approach this is soon as we approach this this wonderful celebration. May I ask you may I encourage you to learn the real meaning of Christmas? With these two verses that I will be sharing to you first in First Corinthians chapter, 1 chapter 15 verses 1 through 14 and let me read it to you. It was. It was Paul writing a letter to the Christians in Korean and then he in the 15 chapter of this letter. He mentioned a very important facts. dimension of very important
Message to Dam and its inverse want it goes like this. Now. I want you to know I want I make known to you breath and the gospel which I preach to you. Which also you receive in which you stand by you. It's also you are safe. If you hold fast the word which I preach to you unless you believe in vain where I deliver to you as a person four times that I also what I also received that Christ died for our sins according to the key to the scriptures and that he was buried and that he was raised on the third day according to the scriptures. And yet. The second verse.
1st Peter chapter 2 verse 24 and he himself bore our sins in his body on the cross so that we might die to see him and leave to righteousness for by his wounds you were. Healed a man now you might does. Where's the birth of price there on those verses that I've read to you? I mean I said to Beth to versus but not no. No, it's not too versus bats at supper. But coming from two books in the Bible in the New Testament. Where is Christmas day? Where is the birth of Christ Christmas? We focus our only in the nativity scene. We have that picture. Although it's not even really packed. Well. If those were the arrangement during the time because if you will see at a regular, yeah, that doesn't nativity scene. You will see Joseph and Mary and the baby Jesus and you will see three kings. That alone. It's not really accurate because we will see that that that That's basically the setting. being in the in the barn or being in a manger and if you will study the Bible it didn't really Happened that way amen. There was no three kings. We know there were there were mad guys. We don't know the number. We we conclude it was there was three there was three because of the gifts. But that's not the Pac-12 again. Know anybody knows from the Bible if you will say that before when the map the Magi is the white man came. They were able to see nothing fun. But the Child Jesus not in the manger, but inside a house a man.
And again if we want to learn the real meaning of Christmas.
You can up guitars kreisberg. from his crucifixion and then
When are uman beings born in this world the parents desire to see the child grow up and become someone they hope for amen for example for you for every balanced ear when your child or children? where born You have something in mind. Fordham you want to see them someday grow up in a certain way but you are not aware of that you are you are not know if that's beside of the. Hope will come to pass a man. You don't know if for example when you said oh if I if I If I will be given a chance to have a child that child I want him to grow up and become like this or become like that. Your dreams your your wishes for your children. Are just wishes, but you have no control of making them become of what you wish them for.
What's when Jesus was born? It was already determined what he will become. He was born for a reason. Define in Christmas without referencing to Christ died on the cross that's not paint the complete picture when Christ was born. He was born. Who died on the cross he was born to become the savior of the world. He was born as the Messiah the anointed one. So he is is for a reason not just a random app. Hey, man. Everything was planned and who planned it it was God. The father's plan. That's why I even from the Old Testament you learned already that Jesus birth was prophesied Jesus birth was already mentioned the place.
The place where he will be born. What's the reason already was prophesied already? That's why it's only make sense to celebrate Christmas because I hope he's that without his dad.
There's no reason for us to celebrate his birth. We can celebrate being your name.
But where is the real essence or where is the meaning for that? The only reason the only reason we can say that lease Navidad or Merry Christmas in English is because there was a good a good Friday. The only reason we can celebrate Christmas is because there was a point of time in the history of this world. That's the one Friday. The Son of God was hung on the tree and then and died for our sins.
He's that was preordain. So if we are to celebrate his birthday then keep in mind why he was born a man. Keep in mind why he was born.
Going back to our text. . Now I make known to you Brethren the gospel. No, I make known to you Brethren the good news. Glad Tidings. Isn't that Echo what the angel said to the Shepherds? Hey, man, when when the angel appeared to the Shepherds saying? I come with good tidings. I come with good news for today in the in the city of the David. The savior is born.
But we know that it did not end there because she was born with a purpose and that purpose is what to save us from sin and death. slavery obscene and eventually dead because a person
supposed the gospel, which I preached to you. Which also you received in which also you stand so Paul is basically reciting or reminding them what happened during
During the time they Fritz big first hear the gospel preached to them. It's the damn the good news Pitbull pics of them cries his death and suffering and then after that he did receive his message and now they're leaving. by what they learn from Paul
by which also you are saved see this gospel. Save them this gospel. Lead them to Salvation.
I know I ate my hope is that every individual in this place can relate to this? That's after the gospel was preached to you. You receive it? And now you're standing on it.
That's why we can say I am saved. Hello, you hold fast. This is the condition for fall. If you hold fast the words the word which I preach to you, unless you believe in vain or it's like saying unless you did not believe at all.
Hey, man, see when you say you hold fast. It's a continuing process. We don't trip. Christianity or we don't read the Bible or something as all I did believe it.
Oh, yeah, I did one time receive Christ and after that. I still leave my old life. Nothing really changed much snow.
anniversary for I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received basically what I'm saying here is This is the message that I meant that I I first pitch to you. For I delivered to you this is what I said to you. This is what the gospel is. This is my message to you when I first came to you.
And according to Paul Paul, this is first important. I meant first importance.
There are so many important things in life. But this is up first important.
that Christ died for our sins
celebrating Christmas with the real understanding that Christ came to die for our sins celebrating Christmas.
You are just celebrating the man-made celebration of Christmas. Hey, man.
That Christ died for our sins according to according to the scriptures according to God's written word. Not according to man.
but according to God and that he was buried meaning its it was true that he died. That's why they buried and that he wants to race again.
the racing of Christ here shows that the father honored his offering that the father was pleased to his sacrifices And then on the third day. And he was raised on the third day according to the scriptures, see how far rely on the scriptures.
Brothers and sisters the climax of Jesus birth was his death on the cross. The gospel was his dad that settled our dad. If Jesus was born live and let this world and went back to heaven without dying. There is no salvation for us. voice. Because sin requires that a man requires that That's why when Jesus came to this world when Jesus was born the basic the very purpose of his coming is to offer his life. David Reese, um about the about this a while ago.
Who sang about this?
Send requires that because according to the Book of Romans the same author of Ardex this morning.
he said the payment for our sin is that since we sinned against God therefore we need to die.
We need to die us a form of punishment.
But instead of experiencing the wrath of God.
Jesus game to die on our behalf. That's why we call him Redeemer.
Howard the atonement of our sin was placed on him. Hey, man.
So don't celebrate Christmas for the sake of Celebration. It's not about what you're going to place on your table that that night. What we call noche buena in this in Spanish. Hey, man.
It's not about those gifts that we will place under our trees. I don't even have a 3. Hey, man.
And I'll be alone.
Again, you're not invited. Let me pay later.
Replace my morning with presents for you.
I mix emotion.
Brothers and sisters don't celebrate Christmas without this in our hearts and our mind.
Because how can we lease really? Say happy birthday Lord? How can we listen Merry Christmas and be thankful that he came?
the first Advent meaning the first appearing Hey, man. How can we say really Mary? Mary means happy? How is it happy? How do you how do you say that? Christmas is Happy why what is in your mind? that you were able to see the stew to buy all the the things you want
That's why this is my suggestion brothers and sisters. Take time to sit down with your family.
Take some time to sit down with your family. Mom. Read the accounts of the birth of Christ. And his dad according to the scripture according to those stories we find in the gospel. The Gospel Matthew Mark Luke and John
I will study this morning say about preparing ourselves.
This Christmas prepare ourselves as we celebrate Christmas then. Learn it together with your family.
There are so many verses in this for gospel that will tell us. about this bird
and let your children also understand this or at least let them be aware of this so that as they grow. Ask Dave Grohl this are the things that will be in their hearts and mind.
And they will understand Christmas in a different way but in a better way. Hey, man.
discuss this viscosity in a simple way
You don't you don't need to become a Bible scholar for you to share this to your kids and you young young people. No kids. Remind your dad your mom. I meant remind them and ask them to read it with you or you to read it for you.
lettuce relieve the true meaning of Christmas do not let the festivities Define the season for you. Do not let this world be fine Christmas for you brothers and sisters. And also to your kids do your children?
And the second Point that's what I want to share is.
author in your celebration of Christmas on its meaning John chapter 3 verse 16 it says for God so loved the world that he gave his only son.
only begotten
one and only amen We are all children of God. But there is only one son of God Amen. None can equal.
That whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life if you are one of those who believe in the Lord Jesus than you are experiencing God's love right now. Hey, man, if you are a genuine believer, then you can relate to this text this passage. Meaning you are loved when you are loved not only by someone or somebody but you are loved by God and that love was shown by giving him his son. That's why I keep telling a while ago. The birth of Christ is only the beginning of one great plan.
a plan that shows God's love for this world a man. So how will you react to Islam? How about how are you going to react to this love? We know this verse. Even with her eyes closed. Even probably when we are sleepy we can still go to this verse one of the most favorite verses in the Bible.
For God so loved the world then how are you going to react to that? We love God. Amen.
Love him back.
But it's still that is very general. How are we going to share our love or how are we going to show our love? We show it by worshipping him? We show it by serving him. We show it by conducting Our Lives according to his will he man according to the scripture?
so when we say pattern your celebration of Christmas on its meaning then these are the things that we need to consider.
We sell it. We're celebrating him. Therefore. We want to serve him or we're celebrating him. Therefore. We want to honor and worship him or with our lives.
If we can go Christmas as the birthday of Christ, and basically it is.
Then he's the one who also to receive gifts. Coming from those people who loves him.
So what kind of gifts or gift have you prepared?
For the birth of Christ as we celebrate. his birthday
Of course, does he need anything? Can we really go to the mall and find a gift fit for the King of Kings the born King the Lord of lords?
Can we go to Amazon and said try to search? gift for
the Lord Jesus Christ
I don't think you will get any suggestion. But if you will go back to the Bible.
You will learn that there is only one gift that we can give God.
It Is by giving and continuously leaving our lives for him Hey, man, because that's the only thing he requires of us.
And I believe us we celebrate this Christmas. And when we part and eat according to its meaning you know, what? We will have ourselves. We will help ourselves.
and prevent ourselves from worrying worrying from so many things that doesn't really
speaks or talks about Christmas
Imagine Christmas is fast approaching. And I remember asking one picture. Are you ready for Christmas? And Thoughtful guy I asked to pictures and they said no. I have not star. I haven't started my shopping yet.
And we can relate to that it's because it's been like that for many years. It's been automatic When Christmas Comes. We need to be prepared prepared and the way we prepare. We prepared we we prepare is by buying things. ask if those
those are the definition that we can learn about Christmas, but it's not about it is not brothers and sister.
That's why I said as we celebrate Christmas eve.
I know it's not easy to change things.
but that is better start from
Let us start from something maybe little. Yes, we will still buy gifts. Yes, we will still repair. Yes, we will still gather. We will still have those Exchange.
It's funny because when we were having those kind of kinds of activities, like for example exchange gifts.
You're looking at the house that gives Bean wrap and how big the boxes are. Hey, man.
What is Zeta star? summer what sound Paul diss, Christian Christmas? Let's celebrate it. Like what I've said a while ago, so I want to celebrate it with my family and we want to sit together and pray together and talk about Christmas and talk about the birth of Christ and talk about his sacrifices. And talk about the reason why he needs to die on the cross.
and eventually
you will get you will be you will get acquainted. Did the real message to Pete? And then it will help you to change things. Amen.

That is not Christmas. In fact, I can tell I can say this. Christmas is not about family.
Christmas is not about family gathering together. Hey, man. No, there is nothing wrong. With gathering together as family during Christmas.
I think I want to experience that. I love that. But now I would prepare together.
Sharing the real meaning of Christmas to one another. Amen.
Celebrate Christmas with families without the really telling down. What is Christmas Christmas all about?
Zapata near Celebration not according to the celebration of this world celebration of Christmas on what you see on the papers or what you see on the television advertisement for what you see. When you go to the malls what happened? You spend more money. Amen. You spend more money. Yes probably will get a lot of good deals.
But you are only getting the commercialize Christmas. Not the biblical one.
I'm not saying don't cook food. I'm not saying don't go to the mall. I'm not saying don't wrap any gifts. What I'm saying is you need to make sure that your heart is correct. That your heart is set on the scripture. Nnn the buying of gifts and the cooking of foods and the partying and the end. That the Gathering is all they are only. Need the product. our Biblical understanding of Christmas now you give not only for the sake of giving no you give Because You Love the person now you celebrate it around the table with Jen win. thankfulness and gratefulness to God he meant for the things that yes. Now you're celebrating God in mine.
No, you can share love even to strangers because that love that you received.

Let us try to erase.
Those kind of Celebration that we had. That sounds really good glorify God.
You know what US you celebrate Christmas, I mean We will be challenged so becoming creative year.
But not just for being different or say or not just because we want to be created or yes. You were just want to be
something else
but prayerfully brothers and sisters.
awesome, Lord How should we celebrate this season? guide us and I believe
we will find the answer.
In fact since a Tecumseh sleeping one of my plants. as I celebrate Christmas Is the go somewhere when I can meet people? And hopefully God will give me the opportunity.
To share the gospel.
I'm so glad for for for our plan to go to Bow press on the 25th of December.
I think that's a good plan.
I think it's very biblical. Because basically we will proclaiming the gospel Truth songs.
I love the idea. I'm glad that we started it last year.
And I hope it will continue. The music Ministry is getting better.
Hey, man. Thankful for sister Naomi for investing her time. Amen.
Hopefully we are more prepared this. this year
And that is something that we can do.
So I hope you will come count yourself in. Hey man, on the 25th. And I think after vocalist were going somewhere. Winter Wonderland
nothing Martin Place. Definitely
Yeah. That's what I'm sensing that close. Whoever is the nearest house probably.
Now let us go to the last part brothers and sisters plan to share the true Spirit of Christmas the true meaning of Christmas.
Now I'm good. I want the us to go back to the verse that we have bread.
Paul said for I delivered to you in verse 3. But I delivered to you as of first importance.
How to share the true Spirit of Christmas what could be the best gift someone will receive this Christmas? If not the grace of God. If not, the grace that comes from God in his life. Hey, man. Every time I pray for someone. Home, I'm not sure if that person is is a Christian or not. I always ask God for his grace and what I meant for his for for for for saying that for saying Lord, may your grace be upon this person. What I really meant is may he experienced your Saving Grace? May he experienced salvation in this in his life. May he experience your love and your forgiveness? to plan to share the true Spirit of Christmas
If you want to celebrate with friends, or if you want, you can invite somebody to come to your house.
Unless you celebrate with them then. Speak the gospel share the gospel.
Or you can go to the mall or you can go somewhere. Where you will be able to meet somebody. You know what Christmas is one of the best time to share the gospel. Why because it's given already
to do an introduction is not
that's something hard. Why because basically during Christmas time you are legally. given the opportunity to say Merry Christmas
Hey, man. Yeah, some some people will say all we don't celebrate Christmas. It's okay.
Some blue will reply back or happy holiday.
But those are the opportunities that we can grab to share the gospel. Someone has said Christmas is about giving I can't disagree with that. But may I ask what should I give?
I think the best gift. And I I mentioned this. while ago the best ski weekend the best gift we can give is sharing the gospel.
Make it easy make it your goal brothers and sisters to share the gospel. By doing this you will have the constant awareness. What Christmas really man? Humans have the concept awareness because she knows that you need to prepare your message. See if you if you make it your goal to share the gospel, then you know that somehow you need to memorize some verse you need to understand some passages. You need to understand the story.
Because that's the message you will be sharing. And I should do that brother and sisters. As you prepare for it, you will become acquainted with versus the Dells. That tells you the gospel awareness will train your heart and mine until you yourself become engrossed to the word of God. And finally. Knowledge in our mind. Knowledge in our hearts about the gospel will be reflected on a how we live our lives.
That's why it is important for us.
Who said in the Book of Romans chapter 12?
Let us offer our body as a Living Sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God. And then inverse to it says and let me quote it to you also.
Let me just go to the Book of Romans.
an inverse to it says
do not be conformed to this world. but transform but be transformed.
By the renewal of your mind that by testing you made your son. What is the will of God what is good and acceptable and perfect no brothers and sisters the more we prepare ourselves in the sharing of the Gospel the more our hearts and mind becoming a man when you always meditate when you always think of the word of God you will get infected.
by its message by its truth you will be in influence.
That's how it work.
What's my brothers and sister plan to share the trees.
Just giving something it's not bad.
But we don't accomplish much by doing that since it's the celebration of the birth of Christ.
Why not? Tell someone not why not tell somebody why in the first plane first place he was born in this world Amen so plan to share the truth.
people used to say the spirit of God is giving the spirit of God is the spirit of Christmas is giving the spirit of God of Christmas is loving the spirit of Christmas is you know, joy and happiness
It's only through. When we share the gospel. It is only through.
When they understand that it was God who gave first. Hey man. It was God Who Loved first? And that love is our pattern. It is only through when they understand. That unless they repent from their sin. NVC price that's their lord and savior. They don't really have any Christmas at all. We need to. Send a message. We need to share the message brothers and sister. And I say and I just want to read to you the lyrics of the song where I got the title of our study. It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas everywhere you go take a look at the five-and-ten. It's it's listening once again with candy canes and silver Lanes aglow It's Beginning to Look Alot Like Christmas my Christmas toys in every store imagine that defines Christmas. toys in every stores all those decorations

But it's not Christmas. That's Christmas when we start to see green and red. When we start to see trees with lights.
When we see snow man's though. Those are

Then if I may continue it says but the prettiest sight to see is the holy, you know, it's those what they call that those. Yeah.
That we have on our doors.
A pair of Hopalong boots and a pistol that shoots is the Wiz of Barney and then does that we'll talk and we'll go for a walk. Is the hope of Janice and Jen?
