Introduction
Play video - The Glory of Christmas - Director/Joel (Skit Guys)
“Doesn’t matter where you see the Nativity story, whether it is on the street corner or in a church or even on your neighbors mantle, when you see it, you have to consider, then and there.
Will you kneel at the manger?
Will you believe in the miracle of Christmas; the glory of Christmas?
Trust that this is the way that God chose to save us all?” Skit Guys
Sometimes, too often perhaps, we value man’s words over the inspired, living word of God.
Too often, we fail to stop and consider that which is infinitely glorious.
I am going to do something today that I have only ever done once before.
The ENTIRETY of our time is going to be spent reading the biblical narrative.
