GOD VIEW: The connection between CHRISTMAS and God's character, as shown through God's Big Story.
Have you ever stopped to listen to a group of carolers and then joined them to go spread some more Christmas cheer with others? Music is such a big part of Christmas, but it’s not the main reason we celebrate. It’s easy to get distracted with all the lights, presents, and traditions that sometimes we forget it’s not about the things we do, but Who we do it for and why we do it.
That’s why this December, we’re singing loudly as we jam out to our Christmas Playlist to celebrate Jesus, God’s greatest gift! The best gift God ever gave was Jesus. Because of Jesus, it’s possible for us to have a relationship with God that will last forever. As we get in the mix this Christmas season, let’s take time to remember the reason we celebrate in the first place: Jesus, the greatest gift the world has ever known.
CHRISTMAS: Celebrating Jesus, God's greatest gift.
MEMORY VERSE: "[Mary] is going to have a son. You must give him the name Jesus. That's because he will save his people from their sins." (Matthew 1:21 NIrV)
