00:02 they rejoiced with exceedingly great joy." 00:08 We invite you to celebrate this special season 00:11 by worshiping our Savior and King 00:14 and now "An Evening with Tim Parton." 00:30 Tell me the story of Jesus 00:36 Write on my heart every word 00:41 Tell me the story most precious 00:47 Sweetest that ever was heard 00:53 Tell how the angels in chorus 00:58 Sang as they welcomed His birth 01:04 Glory to God in the highest 01:10 Peace and good tidings to earth 01:15 Tell me the story of Jesus 01:21 Write on my heart every word 01:26 Tell me the story most precious 01:32 Sweetest that ever was heard 01:42 And this is how Luke tells that story, in Luke 2. 01:47 In those days, Caesar Augustus issued a decree 01:50 that a census should be taken of the entire Roman world 01:54 and everyone went to their own town to register. 01:57 "So Joseph also went up from the town of Nazareth 02:01 in Galilee to Judea, to Bethlehem the town of David, 02:04 because he belonged to the house and line of David. 02:08 He went there to register with Mary, 02:10 who was pledged to be married to him 02:12 and was expecting a child. 02:15 While they were there, 02:16 the time came for the baby to be born, 02:19 and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. 02:23 She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, 02:26 because there was no guest room available for them." 02:32 O little town of Bethlehem 02:37 How still we see thee lie 02:43 Above thy deep and dreamless sleep 02:48 The silent stars go by 02:53 Yet in thy dark streets shineth 02:59 The everlasting Light 03:04 The hopes and fears of all the years 03:10 Are met in thee tonight 04:12 O tell me the story of Jesus 04:19 Write on my heart every word 04:25 Tell me the story most precious 04:30 Sweetest that ever was heard 04:38 Then Luke continues. 04:40 "And there were shepherds living out in the fields, 04:44 keeping watch over their flocks at night. 04:46 An angel of the Lord appeared to them, 04:49 and the glory of the Lord shone around and they were terrified. 04:54 But the angel said to them, 'do not to be afraid, 04:56 I bring you good news 04:58 that will cause great joy for all the people.' 05:01 Today in the town of David, 05:03 a Savior has been born to you, He is the Messiah, the Lord. 05:08 And this will be a sign to you, 05:11 you will find a baby wrapped in cloths, lying in a manger. 05:16 And suddenly a great company of the heavenly host 05:18 appeared with the angel, praising God, 05:22 saying glory to God in the highest heaven, 05:24 and on earth peace, 05:26 peace to those on whom His favor rests." 05:41 Angels from the realms of glory 05:46 Wing your flight o'er all the earth 05:50 Ye who sang creation's story 05:55 Now proclaim Messiah's birth 05:59 Come and worship, come and worship 06:04 Worship Christ, the newborn King 06:15 Shepherds, in the field abiding 06:20 Watching o'er your flocks by night 06:24 God with us is now residing 06:28 Yonder shines the Infant light 06:32 Come and worship, come and worship 06:37 Worship Christ, the newborn King 07:07 Come and worship, come and worship 07:12 Worship Christ, the newborn King 07:18 Come and worship, come and worship 07:23 Worship Christ 07:26 The newborn King 07:33 Tell me the story of Jesus 07:39 Write on my heart every word 07:45 Tell me the story most precious 07:51 Sweetest that ever was heard 07:59 And then Luke says, 08:00 "When the angels had left them and gone into heaven, 08:04 the shepherd said to one another 08:05 'Let's go to Bethlehem and see this thing 08:08 that has happened 08:10 which the Lord has told us about.' 08:12 So they hurried off and found Mary and Joseph, and the Baby, 08:16 who is lying in the manger. 08:19 And when they had seen Him, 08:20 they spread the word concerning 08:23 what had been told them about this Child. 08:26 And all who heard it were amazed 08:28 at what the shepherds said to them. 08:32 But Mary, she treasured up all these things 08:36 and pondered them in her heart. 08:39 The shepherds returned, 08:41 glorifying and praising God for all the things 08:43 they had heard and they had seen, 08:46 which were just as they had been told." 09:03 What Child is this 09:07 Who laid to rest 09:09 On Mary's lap is sleeping? 09:15 Whom angels greet with anthems sweet 09:20 While shepherds watch are keeping? 09:27 This, this is Christ the King 09:33 Whom shepherds guard and Angels sing 09:38 Haste, haste, to bring Him laud 09:43 The Babe, the Son of Mary 11:10 So that's the story, the greatest story ever told, 11:13 the gospel according to Luke. 11:16 How often do you tell that wonderful story? 11:19 Only at Christmas? 11:21 It's written right there 11:22 in the word of God for us to read 11:24 and to retell to those who we come in contact with. 11:30 And along with that story we have our testimony, 11:34 how God has made a difference in our lives. 11:41 I welcome you to our program 11:43 and I hope that you will sing along on these songs. 11:46 Hope these songs will minister to you. 11:48 This is a special time of year. 11:50 "There's truly a song in the air, I can feel it." 11:54 Sing along. 12:05 There's a song in the air 12:09 There's a star in the sky 12:12 There's a mother's deep prayer 12:15 And a baby's low cry 12:19 And the star rains its fire 12:22 While the beautiful sing 12:25 For the manger of Bethlehem 12:29 Cradles a King 13:04 Away in a manger 13:08 No crib for a bed 13:11 The little Lord Jesus 13:15 Laid down His sweet head 13:18 The stars in the sky 13:22 Looked down where He lay 13:25 The little Lord Jesus 13:29 Asleep on the hay 13:36 Be near me, Lord Jesus 13:41 I ask Thee to stay 13:44 Close by me forever 13:47 And love me, I pray 13:51 Bless all the dear children In Thy tender care 13:58 And fit us for Heaven 14:02 To live with Thee there 17:02 Good. 17:03 We have so much to rejoice about. 17:06 So let's do as the song says, "Good Christians Now Rejoice." 17:17 Good Christian, now rejoice 17:21 With heart, and soul, and voice 17:25 Give ye heed to what we say 17:28 Jesus Christ was born today 17:32 Ox and lamb before Him bow 17:35 And He is in the manger now 17:39 Christ is born today Christ is born today 17:51 Good Christians, now rejoice 17:55 With heart, and soul, and voice 17:59 Now ye hear of endless bliss 18:02 Jesus Christ was born for this 18:06 He has opened Heaven's door 18:09 And we are blessed for evermore 18:13 Christ was born for this 18:16 Christ was born for this 18:23 All right, you sing it now. 18:44 Oh, yeah. 18:46 Christ was born to save 18:49 Christ was born to save 18:54 Rejoice! Rejoice! 19:01 Immanuel 19:08 Has come to us 19:12 O Israel 19:57 Rejoice. 20:01 Yeah, we have so much to rejoice about, right? 20:04 Even though life is crazy and discouraging sometimes 20:09 and things just happened to everybody 20:12 but we have things to rejoice about. 20:14 The one thing is, especially, the Christ has come to save us. 20:19 And I love the fact that God gave the gift of salvation 20:24 wrapped in human flesh. 20:27 I had the opportunity to minister to some veterans. 20:33 A couple of years ago, 20:36 we were singing at a little Christmas get together. 20:41 After I had done my part, they began to tell stories. 20:46 And I remember one particular story, 20:49 a gentleman was talking about Christmases 20:52 when he grew up, and how all they really, 20:55 they were very poor, 20:57 and all they received was an orange, 20:59 just some fruit. 21:03 And this orange, they were elated to get. 21:08 He talked about the whole process 21:10 of actually going to go with his father 21:12 to go get the orange, it made a great story. 21:16 But then he talked about 21:18 when he peeled I guess the orange, 21:24 he didn't discard the peel like I would. 21:29 I mean, I like the smell of the peel 21:31 and I realize that's the zest, 21:33 you know, where you get the zest from. 21:35 But he talked about keeping this, the peel, 21:40 this wrapper for this orange all year long. 21:45 He kept it and talked about in June, he went back to this, 21:49 where he had kept it in a box in his drawer 21:52 and he would peel of a little bite 21:54 and he would nibble on the peel of the orange. 21:59 And it just reminded me of, number 1, 22:02 how we throw away the beautiful paper 22:07 on the gifts that we receive. 22:10 And I know I'm not a good gift wrapper. 22:15 So when I see somebody crumple that up, 22:18 I'm thinking "Oh, if you only knew 22:19 how long it took me to do that, 22:21 to wrap that gift, to make it so pretty, 22:25 you wouldn't have missed that step, 22:27 'cause that was probably one of the most 22:30 precious parts of the gift." 22:35 But also we look and see that, 22:37 the gift of salvation that Christ came to earth 22:43 to give us was wrapped up in Him. 22:48 And God planned it that way 22:51 that He would become flesh. 22:56 So as you remember the gift of salvation, 23:03 remember Jesus, remember Him, 23:08 and let's worship Him. 23:13 I think you will remember some of these songs. 23:18 O come, let us adore Him 23:24 O come, let us adore Him 23:31 O come, let us adore Him 23:39 Christ, the Lord 23:46 For You alone are worthy 23:52 For You alone are worthy 23:58 For You alone are worthy 24:06 Christ, the Lord 24:25 Joyful joyful we adore You 24:30 God of glory Lord of light 24:34 Angels lifting praise before You 24:38 Sing

glory 25:09 All creation joins to sing 25:13 Praise resounds as earth rejoices 25:17 In the birth of Christ the King 25:20 Shepherds kneel before the Infant 25:24 Trumpets sound and anthems rise 25:28
