Opening Hymn: O little town of Bethlehem by Lewis Redner and Phillips brooks
O little town of Bethlehem How still we see thee lie
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep
The silent stars go by
Yet in thy dark streets shineth
The everlasting light
The hopes and fears of all the years
Are met in thee tonight
For Christ is born of Mary
And gathered all above
While mortals sleep, the angels keep
Their watch of wondering love
O morning stars together
Proclaim thy holy birth
And praises sing to God the King
And peace to men on earth
O little town of Bethlehem
How still we see thee lie
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep
The silent stars go by
Yet in thy dark streets shineth
The everlasting light
The hopes and fears of all the years
Are met in thee tonight
Sermon:
Jesus is shown as fulfilling the word of Our Heavenly Father. A story is put together about faith and how to live through a life of being controlled by something evil. When the birth of Jesus happened many sheopards came at the instructions of angels. There were many prayers put out to celebrate this day and how he worked very hard to keep a temple working. After this Jesus’s parents took him home to Nazareth. Matthew in the New Testament has lists of the family members of Jesus from Abraham to his legal father Joseph, husband of Mary, his mother. The second part is the birth of Jesus Christ. Our joy is spread through the good news of Jesus’ love. It’s not enough to be filled with joy and keep it to ourselves. Our Heavenly Father made us for community. He wants us to share his love with others. You should love your neighbor as you love yourself, and as you love the lord. This goes for your friends as well. You should also forgive those who bother you and maybe hurt you. That is a type of love too. Children it is always important to tell the truth no matter what. When you tell the truth people trust you throughout your life. This way they know you are an honest person. Truthfulness and light is your Heavenly Father. Anything else is the adversary, you do not want that. It is always better to be truthful and honest, and people will trust you more if you are honest.
