[Sunday] - Epiphany - Nostalgia
Look, they are following the light to salvation. And as they bring their gifts, these Gentiles find they have been given the greatest gift of all.

[Sunday] He Is Here- Nostalgia
God told him he would see the Messiah. Which young boy would it be? But when the young family walked in there was no doubt: He is here.

[Sunday] Wonderful Mess - Nostalgia
It was supposed to be the best. God was coming into the world. Jimmy Stewart was the lead. But it was all a mess from accusations of cheating to script rewrites. The whole thing looks unimportant. But it becomes one of the most beloved stories of all time.

Questions for the Week
What is the most iconic Christmas movie to you? Why?
Read Matthew 1:18-25. What are the two names given to Jesus? How do these names help us better understand Christmas?
What do these names teach you about your greatest needs?
Think of a mess that you are in or someone you love is in. How can you remind yourself or them, that Jesus is Immanuel (God with us)?

[Sunday] Someone Greater - Nostalgia
King Solomon had it all. Incredible wisdom, amazing riches, and he was even tall. Even queens from far off lands came to check on all his plans. But it all fell apart, like the Grinch stole his heart. And here we sit as if for a waiter, contemplating if there really is someone greater.

What is your favorite children’s Christmas book that you’ve read? Why?
Read 1 Kings 11:1-10. Why do you think Solomon ends so badly?
What are the temptations in your life that cause you to not “keep Christ in Christmas?”
Read Matthew 12:42. What does it mean when Jesus says there is something greater than Soloman?

[Sunday] Expanding Christmas - Nostalgia
The Gospel writer Matthew is starting small and common, the son of Abraham. But he quickly expands who is invited to the table to the poor, the tax collectors, and even those terrible Gentiles. It kinda reminds me of the Griswald’s Christmas.
Service [above] Sermon releases at 10pm [under]
Questions for the Week
When you think of family gatherings around the holidays, do you prefer smaller gatherings or gatherings where everyone in the family is invited? Why?
Read Genesis 22. Why do you think it would be difficult for Abraham to sacrifice Isaac, the son of the promise?
Read Hebrews 11:17-19. How do you see Jesus in this story of the sacrifice of Issac?
In difficult times, where have you seen God be faithful to his promise for you?

[Sunday] Misfit Kingdom - Nostalgia
Why do we love Christmas so much? I think it is because there is still a strong connection through the heart of the holiday with the heart of God’s Kingdom. But perhaps only the blind can see the connection.
Service [above] Sermon releases at 10pm [under]
Questions for the Week
What is your favorite Christmas movie and why?
Read Matthew 1:1. Who does Matthew say Jesus is?
Read 2 Samuel 7:12-16. Speaking on behalf of God, what does Sameul say David’s descendant will do? How do you think that was misunderstood by the Jews living in Jesus’ day? How is that misunderstood by us today?
Read Matthew 15:21-28. What hope does the Canaanite woman see in Jesus? What hope do you see in Jesus for today?

Each box is examined to ensure safe contents, PLUS the child will receive a leaflet in their language about Jesus. Millions have been sent worldwide over the years. If you still wish to contribute, please, see me. Thank you! - Judy Fredrich, 772-237-2626
