Some people think that Christmas is getting to commercial…it’s about
shopping etc
What do you think about that?
Do we get too many presents? Spend too much money?
[Why do you think we give presents?]
The wise men…
We celebrate Christmas every year…
What’s the big deal about?
Jesus said in John 10:10 that he came that we might have "life in all its
fullness"
What do you think that means?
According to the Bible we were made to be a friend of God
Through knowing Jesus, we can be God’s friend…
John 14:6 "Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to
the Father except through me.'"
Jesus is our ‘gift’ from God…
End bit
So lets think about that for a moment...and then we will pray
[pray - pass around the candle]
Acts 20:35 ”I showed you in all things that you should help the weak. I taught you to
remember the words Jesus said: ‘It is more blessed to give than receive”
