Hello and welcome to 3ABN Today.
00:00:21.95\00:00:24.02
We have a special program today,
00:00:24.05\00:00:25.65
Ms. Yvonne, tell us about it?
00:00:25.69\00:00:27.06
Yes, we do.
00:00:27.09\00:00:28.42
We have a
wonderful Christmas program
00:00:28.46\00:00:30.76
that we want you
to join in with us
00:00:30.79\00:00:33.50
and just worship the Lord,
00:00:33.53\00:00:35.00
and enjoy the day.
00:00:35.03\00:00:36.60
So the Lord's here,
and we feel His presence,
00:00:36.63\00:00:39.53
and we're just so
grateful to be together
00:00:39.57\00:00:41.80
to praise Him with you.
00:00:41.84\00:00:43.51
All right.
00:00:43.54\00:00:44.87
And we're here with family. Yes.
00:00:44.91\00:00:46.71
And so we see that Tim is,
00:00:46.74\00:00:48.81
everything's
centered around him, right?
00:00:48.84\00:00:51.51
No, you just...
00:00:51.55\00:00:53.05
Everything centered around you,
00:00:53.08\00:00:54.42
so it's your program,
00:00:54.45\00:00:55.78
we're gonna follow your
lead today, Brother Tim.
00:00:55.82\00:00:57.52
Well, you're good leader,
00:00:57.55\00:00:59.49
but you also a good
follower, I'll give you that.
00:00:59.52\00:01:01.46
Oh, good, good. All right.
00:01:01.49\00:01:02.82
You're good.
00:01:02.86\00:01:04.19
So tell us what
we're going to do today,
00:01:04.23\00:01:05.56
and what's on
your mind and heart
00:01:05.59\00:01:06.93
this time of the year?
00:01:06.96\00:01:08.30
You know, music is
my, that's my thing,
00:01:08.33\00:01:10.97
and Christmas
time, I love the carols,
00:01:11.00\00:01:13.74
but I love some of the
hymns that talk about the story,
00:01:13.77\00:01:18.97
they encompassed the
whole story of Christ,
00:01:19.01\00:01:20.91
from the birth,
to the crucifixion,
00:01:20.94\00:01:23.45
to death and resurrection.
00:01:23.48\00:01:25.11
So I like singing songs,
00:01:25.15\00:01:26.55
so I think this is
a first little medley
00:01:26.58\00:01:28.05
after we may be
announced everybody.
00:01:28.08\00:01:30.32
We're gonna do a little
medley of some familiar tunes,
00:01:30.35\00:01:32.29
but you want to tell
them the rest of the family?
00:01:32.32\00:01:33.79
Absolutely.
00:01:33.82\00:01:35.16
Celestine, how you're doing?
00:01:35.19\00:01:36.83
Doing good. All right.
00:01:36.86\00:01:38.19
This is fun, right?
00:01:38.23\00:01:39.56
Getting up to sing it.
00:01:39.59\00:01:41.16
It's been a blessing
00:01:41.20\00:01:42.53
to be around with
this wonderful people.
00:01:42.56\00:01:44.83
You've been in Southern Illinois
00:01:44.87\00:01:46.84
and close to
working in with 3ABN
00:01:46.87\00:01:48.47
about how many years?
00:01:48.50\00:01:49.87
Well, we moved here since 2011,
00:01:49.90\00:01:52.44
and I started
singing at 3ABN at 2012,
00:01:52.47\00:01:57.88
and started
working three years ago.
00:01:57.91\00:02:00.55
And we kept you
busy every since, right?
00:02:00.58\00:02:02.55
Praise the Lord.
00:02:02.58\00:02:03.92
Of course, Pastor John Lomacang,
00:02:03.95\00:02:05.35
now you have been, you
and Angie have been here
00:02:05.39\00:02:07.79
how long in Southern Illinois?
00:02:07.82\00:02:09.16
Eighteen years, we came in 2003.
00:02:09.19\00:02:11.96
When I got here
my hair was black,
00:02:11.99\00:02:13.43
see what you guys did to me.
00:02:13.46\00:02:15.26
All right.
00:02:15.30\00:02:16.63
So today, you
heart's full, I'm sure.
00:02:16.67\00:02:18.17
Yes.
00:02:18.20\00:02:19.53
You gonna get us
some music and some words
00:02:19.57\00:02:20.97
I hope before
this program is over.
00:02:21.00\00:02:22.77
Yes, yes, the Lord has given
us the opportunity to do both,
00:02:22.80\00:02:24.87
and I believe that we'll
get the chance to do that
00:02:24.91\00:02:27.21
and share with those who
are watching and listening,
00:02:27.24\00:02:29.41
invite your family
and friends to join us
00:02:29.44\00:02:31.08
because we don't want
to just sing to yourselves.
00:02:31.11\00:02:32.48
That's right.
00:02:32.51\00:02:33.85
We wanna
encourage you in the season.
00:02:33.88\00:02:35.22
And we don't want
to sing by ourselves,
00:02:35.25\00:02:36.58
we gonna sing with you, right?
00:02:36.62\00:02:37.95
That's right.
00:02:37.99\00:02:39.32
So, Brother Tim,
you wanna start out.
00:02:39.35\00:02:40.69
You said there's a
medley you want us to do.
00:02:40.72\00:02:42.06
Yeah. Yeah. Okay.
00:02:42.09\00:02:43.43
And the first song is One Day,
00:02:43.46\00:02:45.23
and I believe that
you have mentioned that
00:02:45.26\00:02:47.10
that was the song that
you didn't know you knew.
00:02:47.13\00:02:48.90
You know, right before we
started to do the program,
00:02:48.93\00:02:51.53
Tim said, he said,
00:02:51.57\00:02:53.03
"There's that song One
Day, have you heard it?"
00:02:53.07\00:02:54.57
I said, "Which one is it?"
00:02:54.60\00:02:56.10
And I just started singing it.
00:02:56.14\00:02:57.54
I didn't know
that I knew the words,
00:02:57.57\00:02:59.14
and I knew all the words
'cause my mother sang it.
00:02:59.17\00:03:02.18
And I think the
last time I heard her
00:03:02.21\00:03:04.05
was probably I
wan ten years old,
00:03:04.08\00:03:05.58
so that's gonna be
at least 15 years ago,
00:03:05.61\00:03:08.65
30, well 40,
may be 60 years ago,
00:03:08.68\00:03:11.75
has been a long, but
it's a beautiful song
00:03:11.79\00:03:14.06
and, of course, that
brings back the memories
00:03:14.09\00:03:16.22
in when your
Christmas time anytime way
00:03:16.26\00:03:18.26
and you're thanking family
00:03:18.29\00:03:19.63
and those who
resting in the Lord.
00:03:19.66\00:03:22.30
Yes.
00:03:22.33\00:03:23.67
I mean, so brings it
back, but I love this song,
00:03:23.70\00:03:25.37
I always said even as a kid.
00:03:25.40\00:03:26.74
So I'll start off,
00:03:26.77\00:03:28.10
and then you all
come and sing with me,
00:03:28.14\00:03:29.90
right, or you're your own.
00:03:29.94\00:03:31.41
Everybody do their
own thing right now,
00:03:31.44\00:03:33.31
I'm just going to worry
about this one little verse
00:03:33.34\00:03:35.18
right now, John.
00:03:35.21\00:03:36.54
One day when Heaven
00:03:43.79\00:03:47.56
Was filled with His praises
00:03:47.59\00:03:52.19
One day when sin
00:03:52.23\00:03:54.96
Was as black as could be
00:03:55.00\00:04:00.47
Jesus came forth
00:04:00.50\00:04:03.20
To be born of a virgin
00:04:03.24\00:04:08.71
Dwelt among men,
00:04:08.74\00:04:11.31
My example is He
00:04:11.35\00:04:17.85
Living, He loved me
00:04:17.89\00:04:22.52
Dying, He saved me
00:04:22.56\00:04:26.63
Buried, He carried
00:04:26.66\00:04:30.30
My sins far away
00:04:30.33\00:04:36.47
Rising, He just
00:04:36.50\00:04:39.57
He justified freely forever
00:04:39.61\00:04:45.91
And one day He's coming
00:04:45.95\00:04:51.29
Oh glorious day
00:04:51.32\00:04:57.29
Tell me the story of Jesus
00:05:05.97\00:05:12.94
Write on my heart every word
00:05:12.97\00:05:19.31
Tell me the story
00:05:19.35\00:05:22.35
Most precious
00:05:22.38\00:05:26.59
Sweetest that ever was heard
00:05:26.62\00:05:32.73
Tell how the angels in chorus
00:05:32.76\00:05:39.10
Sang as they welcomed his birth
00:05:39.13\00:05:45.77
Glory to God in the highest
00:05:45.81\00:05:52.28
Peace and good tidings to earth
00:05:52.31\00:05:59.09
Tell me the story of Jesus
00:05:59.12\00:06:05.79
Write on my heart every word
00:06:05.83\00:06:12.50
Tell me the story most precious
00:06:12.53\00:06:19.21
Sweetest that ever was heard
00:06:19.24\00:06:25.21
Down from His glory
00:06:36.73\00:06:43.67
Ever living story
00:06:43.70\00:06:50.04
My God and Savior came
00:06:50.07\00:06:56.34
And Jesus was His name
00:06:56.38\00:07:02.05
Born in a manger
00:07:02.08\00:07:09.02
To His own a stranger
00:07:09.06\00:07:15.56
A Man of sorrows,
00:07:15.60\00:07:20.47
Tears and agony
00:07:20.50\00:07:26.47
O how
00:07:29.98\00:07:33.05
I love Him!
00:07:33.08\00:07:37.12
How I adore Him!
00:07:37.15\00:07:42.76
My breath, my sunshine,
00:07:42.79\00:07:48.53
My all in all
00:07:48.56\00:07:53.37
The great Creator
00:07:53.40\00:07:58.71
Became my Savior
00:07:58.74\00:08:05.55
And all God's fullness
00:08:05.58\00:08:11.99
Dwelleth in Him
00:08:12.02\00:08:16.99
What condescension
00:08:24.57\00:08:30.64
Bringing us redemption
00:08:30.67\00:08:35.51
That in the dead of night
00:08:35.54\00:08:40.28
Not one faint hope in sight
00:08:40.32\00:08:45.85
God, gracious, tender
00:08:45.89\00:08:51.59
Laid aside His splendor
00:08:51.63\00:08:56.83
Stooping to woo, to win
00:08:56.87\00:09:01.57
To save my soul
00:09:01.60\00:09:08.01
O how
00:09:08.04\00:09:11.28
I love Him!
00:09:11.31\00:09:15.15
How I adore Him!
00:09:15.18\00:09:20.22
My breath, my sunshine,
00:09:20.26\00:09:25.73
My all in all
00:09:25.76\00:09:30.97
The great Creator
00:09:31.00\00:09:36.47
Became
00:09:36.50\00:09:42.14
My Savior
00:09:42.18\00:09:47.42
And all God's fullness
00:09:47.45\00:09:54.36
Dwelleth in Him
00:09:54.39\00:10:00.36
Amen. Amen.
00:10:15.61\00:10:16.95
Amen. Beautiful.
00:10:16.98\00:10:18.48
Praise the Lord. Beautiful.
00:10:18.51\00:10:19.85
Thank you.
00:10:19.88\00:10:21.22
Praise the Lord. Wow!
00:10:21.25\00:10:22.58
You made me cry about
there. Oh, praise the Lord.
00:10:22.62\00:10:23.95
Aren't those lyrics beautiful?
00:10:23.99\00:10:25.32
I love that song.
00:10:25.35\00:10:26.69
Absolutely. The Great Creator.
00:10:26.72\00:10:28.06
Tim, how about just playing
a little bit of that for us.
00:10:28.09\00:10:30.23
It's beautiful.
00:11:23.31\00:11:24.65
Amen.
00:11:24.68\00:11:26.01
Absolutely.
00:11:26.05\00:11:27.38
What a gorgeous song,
beautiful song you did it.
00:11:27.42\00:11:31.05
Praise the Lord.
00:11:31.09\00:11:32.42
Great job. Praise the Lord.
00:11:32.45\00:11:33.79
Yeah. The Lord
blessed you abundant.
00:11:33.82\00:11:35.69
Pastor John, come on up.
00:11:35.72\00:11:37.89
And I saw John over there,
00:11:37.93\00:11:39.73
and I think he was
getting goosebumps.
00:11:39.76\00:11:42.70
Goose ministry,
00:11:42.73\00:11:45.17
because we're not
singing about Jesus,
00:11:45.20\00:11:46.97
we're singing to Jesus.
00:11:47.00\00:11:48.34
Come on.
00:11:48.37\00:11:49.70
Lot of times people say,
we're singing about Jesus,
00:11:49.74\00:11:51.41
but it's better
to sing to Jesus.
00:11:51.44\00:11:52.84
Yes.
00:11:52.87\00:11:54.21
That way the Lord is hearing us,
00:11:54.24\00:11:56.01
you know, when Paul
says and Dr. Luke write,
00:11:56.04\00:11:58.78
he says, we shall
be witnesses to Jesus.
00:11:58.81\00:12:01.65
And that's what
singing is all about.
00:12:01.68\00:12:03.39
This is the season
to remind the world
00:12:03.42\00:12:05.59
that it's not just
about Him once a year,
00:12:05.62\00:12:08.89
but it's about Him every day.
00:12:08.92\00:12:10.26
That's right.
00:12:10.29\00:12:11.63
And that song, those
three songs together,
00:12:11.66\00:12:13.36
those three choruses together
are pulling a picture together,
00:12:13.40\00:12:17.57
that the world
doesn't really see as clearly
00:12:17.60\00:12:20.94
as those who
stand for the gospel.
00:12:20.97\00:12:23.67
So we're not just
singing for the season.
00:12:23.71\00:12:25.37
That's right.
00:12:25.41\00:12:26.74
We're reminding
them in this season
00:12:26.78\00:12:29.21
that Jesus is the
best gift all year along.
00:12:29.24\00:12:32.01
Oh, I love it.
That sounds like a song.
00:12:32.05\00:12:34.02
All right.
00:12:34.05\00:12:35.38
Let's sit down
and let John sing.
00:12:35.42\00:12:36.75
Candles glow
from frosted windows
00:12:49.63\00:12:55.17
Rooms are filled
with twinkling lights
00:12:55.20\00:13:00.44
There's a manger scene
00:13:00.48\00:13:03.35
Boughs of evergreen
00:13:03.38\00:13:06.65
Someone is singing
00:13:06.68\00:13:09.08
'Silent Night'
00:13:09.12\00:13:13.96
And every gift
my heart remembers
00:13:13.99\00:13:20.23
Of easy
laughter, dear old friends
00:13:20.26\00:13:25.47
Precious faces and smiles
00:13:25.50\00:13:27.84
The dancing eyes of a child
00:13:27.87\00:13:30.97
All remind me once again
00:13:31.01\00:13:35.98
The best gift of all is Jesus
00:13:39.38\00:13:45.02
His love knows
no season or place
00:13:45.05\00:13:50.09
You can see Him in the firelight
00:13:50.13\00:13:55.96
Reflected on each face
00:13:56.00\00:14:00.84
And though we cherish
the blessings of Christmas
00:14:00.87\00:14:07.04
When his love
seems especially near
00:14:07.08\00:14:12.55
The best gift of all is Jesus
00:14:12.58\00:14:18.99
All through the year!
00:14:19.02\00:14:24.99
Christmas-time is like a window
00:14:31.30\00:14:36.91
All the world
looks through once a year
00:14:36.94\00:14:42.38
But the light they
find, as they look inside
00:14:42.41\00:14:48.28
Is shining every day we are here
00:14:48.32\00:14:55.02
No need to wait until December
00:14:55.06\00:15:01.93
For all His
promise holds in store
00:15:01.96\00:15:07.14
Every moment we live
00:15:07.17\00:15:09.54
We'll know the peace he can give
00:15:09.57\00:15:12.67
As we find this truth
00:15:12.71\00:15:15.24
Once more
00:15:15.28\00:15:20.22
That the best
gift of all is Jesus
00:15:20.25\00:15:26.72
His love knows
no season or place
00:15:26.76\00:15:31.53
And you can see
Him in the firelight
00:15:31.56\00:15:37.67
Reflected on each face
00:15:37.70\00:15:42.50
And though we cherish
the blessings of Christmas
00:15:42.54\00:15:48.78
When His love
seems especially near
00:15:48.81\00:15:53.42
Yes, the best gift of all
00:15:53.45\00:15:56.28
Is Jesus
00:15:56.32\00:16:00.76
All through the year
00:16:00.79\00:16:06.66
All through the year
00:16:06.70\00:16:11.40
All through the year
00:16:11.43\00:16:16.84
And He's there
00:16:16.87\00:16:19.64
Oh, yes, He is
00:16:19.67\00:16:22.78
His love is there
00:16:22.81\00:16:25.48
All through the year
00:16:25.51\00:16:31.49
Amen. Amen.
00:16:43.30\00:16:44.63
Amen.
00:16:44.67\00:16:48.17
Three hundred and
sixty five days a year,
00:16:48.20\00:16:51.21
He's our everyday,
morning, noon, night,
00:16:51.24\00:16:55.48
no matter what
we're going through,
00:16:55.51\00:16:57.25
no matter what we're
facing, He's faithful,
00:16:57.28\00:17:00.12
He's always there, the
best day gift every day.
00:17:00.15\00:17:02.88
And I love the
imagery of Christmas,
00:17:02.92\00:17:07.72
the Bible story that talks about
00:17:07.76\00:17:13.43
where they laid Him,
00:17:13.46\00:17:15.80
they found a place in the inn,
00:17:15.83\00:17:18.37
a borrowed place
that just housed cattle,
00:17:18.40\00:17:22.34
and it was very primitive,
00:17:22.37\00:17:24.67
and we're instructed not
to forsake humble beginnings,
00:17:24.71\00:17:28.48
you know, so I love that
00:17:28.51\00:17:31.78
because now He
reigns forever from on high
00:17:31.81\00:17:36.08
and, but it started
00:17:36.12\00:17:39.39
God who is the
creator of all things
00:17:39.42\00:17:42.22
humbled Himself,
00:17:42.26\00:17:43.93
put on skin, and
was laid in a manger.
00:17:43.96\00:17:49.30
Why don't you two sing
with me this beautiful song,
00:17:49.33\00:17:51.83
and you can
sing at home with me.
00:17:51.87\00:17:54.04
Away in a manger
00:17:54.07\00:17:58.61
No crib for a bed
00:17:58.64\00:18:02.24
John?
00:18:02.28\00:18:03.61
The little Lord Jesus
00:18:03.65\00:18:08.15
Laid down His sweet head
00:18:08.18\00:18:13.09
The stars in the sky
00:18:13.12\00:18:18.23
Looked down where He lay
00:18:18.26\00:18:23.06
The little Lord Jesus
00:18:23.10\00:18:28.37
Asleep on the hay
00:18:28.40\00:18:32.37
Be near me, Lord Jesus
00:18:35.84\00:18:41.05
I ask You to stay
00:18:41.08\00:18:46.02
Close by me forever
00:18:46.05\00:18:50.89
And love me I pray
00:18:50.93\00:18:55.73
Bless all the dear children
00:18:55.76\00:19:00.70
In Your tender care
00:19:00.74\00:19:05.61
And fit us for heaven
00:19:05.64\00:19:11.01
To live with You there
00:19:11.05\00:19:17.02
Sweet
00:19:21.52\00:19:22.86
thanks.
00:19:22.89\00:19:26.43
And before Christ
00:19:26.46\00:19:29.73
even submitted Himself,
00:19:29.76\00:19:33.84
He knew the
price, He knew the cost.
00:19:33.87\00:19:39.74
And that's what I
think is so wonderful
00:19:39.77\00:19:41.84
that He was still willing
00:19:41.88\00:19:46.21
to come to earth.
00:19:46.25\00:19:49.15
I like this song.
00:19:49.18\00:19:52.95
Longing for a savior
00:19:52.99\00:19:56.49
A hopeless world would wait
00:19:56.52\00:20:00.60
Sin demanded justice
00:20:00.63\00:20:04.03
At a price we could not pay
00:20:04.07\00:20:08.50
But God displayed his mercy
00:20:08.54\00:20:12.41
The greatest gift of love
00:20:12.44\00:20:16.01
When we could not reach heaven
00:20:16.04\00:20:20.05
Heaven came to us
00:20:20.08\00:20:25.39
He made a way in a manger
00:20:25.42\00:20:30.13
A way through the Son
00:20:30.16\00:20:33.56
Messiah the promised
00:20:33.60\00:20:36.67
Before time had begun
00:20:36.70\00:20:40.47
For God so loved this world
00:20:40.50\00:20:43.87
Though he knew
what love would cost
00:20:43.91\00:20:49.21
He made a way in a manger
00:20:49.24\00:20:55.42
To make a way to the cross
00:20:55.45\00:21:01.42
In Bethlehem a stable
00:21:05.56\00:21:08.60
Became a throne of grace
00:21:08.63\00:21:11.80
As God himself our Savior
00:21:11.83\00:21:15.27
Drew near to take our place
00:21:15.30\00:21:19.07
His mother smiled in wonder
00:21:19.11\00:21:22.11
As shepherds stood in awe
00:21:22.14\00:21:26.01
The sacrifice of heaven
00:21:26.05\00:21:29.72
Lay sleeping in the straw
00:21:29.75\00:21:34.82
When He made a way in a manger
00:21:34.86\00:21:39.39
A way through the Son
00:21:39.43\00:21:42.73
Messiah the promised
00:21:42.76\00:21:45.77
Before time had begun
00:21:45.80\00:21:49.74
For God so loved this world
00:21:49.77\00:21:53.41
Though He knew
what love would cost
00:21:53.44\00:21:58.51
He made a way in a manger
00:21:58.55\00:22:04.35
To make a way to the cross
00:22:04.39\00:22:11.16
He is the life
that died my death
00:22:11.19\00:22:17.23
The precious Lord Jesus
00:22:17.27\00:22:20.84
Laid down his sweet head
00:22:20.87\00:22:25.84
He made a way in a manger
00:22:29.14\00:22:34.02
A way through the Son
00:22:34.05\00:22:37.79
Messiah the promised
00:22:37.82\00:22:41.32
Before time had begun
00:22:41.36\00:22:45.79
For God so loved this world
00:22:45.83\00:22:49.53
Though He knew
what love would cost
00:22:49.56\00:22:55.07
He made a way in a manger
00:22:55.10\00:22:59.07
He made a way in a manger
00:23:02.38\00:23:05.78
To make a way to the cross
00:23:08.78\00:23:14.79
Amen.
00:23:29.50\00:23:30.84
He'll make the
way for you, right?
00:23:30.87\00:23:32.44
Oh, absolutely.
00:23:32.47\00:23:33.81
He made a way in a manger,
00:23:33.84\00:23:35.18
and He'll make a
way for each one of us.
00:23:35.21\00:23:36.91
You know, that's a song
00:23:36.95\00:23:38.28
that we were kind of
whispering among ourselves,
00:23:38.31\00:23:40.85
I don't think we knew that song.
00:23:40.88\00:23:42.52
So beautiful.
00:23:42.55\00:23:43.89
It's such a blessing.
00:23:47.89\00:23:49.22
It just really warmed my heart.
00:23:49.26\00:23:51.16
Yeah.
00:23:51.19\00:23:52.53
I mean, honestly,
00:23:52.56\00:23:53.90
when you think
about the name of Jesus,
00:23:53.93\00:23:56.46
you could almost go into
something about that name,
00:23:56.50\00:23:58.43
we won't right now.
00:23:58.47\00:23:59.80
But when you think about it,
00:23:59.83\00:24:01.17
you know, I don't
know if that's Bill Gaither
00:24:01.20\00:24:02.97
or who wrote that
something about that name,
00:24:03.00\00:24:05.21
you can just go
on and on and on.
00:24:05.24\00:24:07.58
Yvonne, you wrote
a book. It's true.
00:24:07.61\00:24:09.04
The Glimpses of His
Glory on the names of God.
00:24:09.08\00:24:11.41
And it just goes
on and on and on.
00:24:11.45\00:24:13.85
We'll need eternity
to really understand God
00:24:13.88\00:24:16.95
and His character and
His love for fallen man.
00:24:16.99\00:24:20.16
And here we're
just getting along
00:24:20.19\00:24:21.92
on the life and everything,
00:24:21.96\00:24:23.32
some doesn't go
exactly the way I like them,
00:24:23.36\00:24:25.53
like, oh, boy, where
is God when I need Him.
00:24:25.56\00:24:27.93
Oh, boy, I'm just
having.. How you doing?
00:24:27.96\00:24:30.03
Oh, I'm just having
a rough go, you know?
00:24:30.07\00:24:32.73
There's a guy that I know
used to say, he was in ministry.
00:24:32.77\00:24:35.24
I'd say, "How
you're doing, Brother?"
00:24:35.27\00:24:36.60
And he'd say, "Oh, the
devil's beat me up, you know."
00:24:36.64\00:24:38.74
He'll say, "How you're doing?"
00:24:38.77\00:24:40.11
I'd say, "If I was any
better, I couldn't stand it."
00:24:40.14\00:24:41.74
He'd say, "Did you get a
big offering or something?"
00:24:41.78\00:24:44.38
I'd say, "No, I've
read the back of the book,
00:24:44.41\00:24:46.85
they overcame him by
the blood of the Lamb
00:24:46.88\00:24:48.95
and the word of
their testimony."
00:24:48.98\00:24:50.72
So what an incredible
opportunity that we have.
00:24:50.75\00:24:53.69
I talked to somebody this week
00:24:53.72\00:24:55.69
who said that
somebody that we...
00:24:55.72\00:24:58.49
Well, John, I play sports,
00:24:58.53\00:25:00.06
but I don't want
to get in too detail,
00:25:00.10\00:25:01.76
but the person
text me and he said,
00:25:01.80\00:25:04.47
"I'm always happy
when I'm out there
00:25:04.50\00:25:07.37
because life, you know,
sometimes give me a hard go
00:25:07.40\00:25:10.71
and really works me over,
00:25:10.74\00:25:12.07
but when I'm around you guys,
00:25:12.11\00:25:13.44
I'm out there, I'm
just happy, I want that."
00:25:13.48\00:25:16.34
So I told him,
"Well, I know you can do it.
00:25:16.38\00:25:18.35
You know, when you trust Jesus,
00:25:18.38\00:25:19.71
He gives you peace in
the midst of the storm."
00:25:19.75\00:25:22.18
So Jesus is not just a name
00:25:22.22\00:25:24.52
and, you know, but
you're talking about
00:25:24.55\00:25:26.45
from that manger to glory,
00:25:26.49\00:25:29.66
to right now ever interceding
at the right hand of the Father
00:25:29.69\00:25:33.19
for you and for me.
00:25:33.23\00:25:34.56
I mean, mercy, you
know, praise the Lord.
00:25:34.60\00:25:37.30
So, right now we have
everything as Christians,
00:25:37.33\00:25:41.24
everything in the world
we ought to be happy about,
00:25:41.27\00:25:43.27
but we've to share it.
00:25:43.30\00:25:45.31
We have to share it
what Jesus means to us.
00:25:45.34\00:25:48.21
He said, "Go and tell
what I've done for you."
00:25:48.24\00:25:50.88
So I would say,
when Jesus sits around,
00:25:50.91\00:25:53.35
there's a song in
the air, how am I doing?
00:25:53.38\00:25:55.58
Let's do it. All right.
00:25:55.62\00:25:56.95
Something to sing about, right?
00:25:56.99\00:25:58.32
There's a song in the air!
00:26:04.26\00:26:07.76
There's a star in the sky!
00:26:07.80\00:26:10.80
There's a mother's deep prayer
00:26:10.83\00:26:13.97
And a baby's low cry!
00:26:14.00\00:26:17.34
And the star rains its fire
00:26:17.37\00:26:20.11
While the beautiful sing
00:26:20.14\00:26:23.71
For the manger of Bethlehem
00:26:23.75\00:26:28.28
Cradles a King!
00:26:28.32\00:26:31.19
Play it, Tim.
00:26:31.22\00:26:32.55
Come on.
00:26:54.24\00:26:55.58
Here we go.
00:26:59.21\00:27:01.15
Hear them singing for joy
00:27:01.18\00:27:04.42
Of the wonderful birth
00:27:04.45\00:27:07.46
For the virgin's sweet boy
00:27:07.49\00:27:10.46
Is the Lord of the earth
00:27:10.49\00:27:13.46
Ay! The star rains its fire
00:27:13.50\00:27:16.23
While the beautiful sing
00:27:16.26\00:27:19.60
For the manger of Bethlehem
00:27:19.63\00:27:24.67
Cradles a King!
00:27:24.71\00:27:28.68
Okay.
00:27:31.85\00:27:33.18
I got to hear that one
more time, that was good.
00:27:33.21\00:27:35.02
You never know
what he is going to do.
00:27:35.05\00:27:36.52
And every time he plays
it, it may sound differently,
00:27:36.55\00:27:38.82
but it's always beautiful.
00:27:38.85\00:27:40.19
It is.
00:27:40.22\00:27:41.56
That's such a beautiful melody.
00:27:41.59\00:27:42.92
And people said, "Amen."
00:28:13.99\00:28:16.56
Praise the Lord.
Absolutely beautiful.
00:28:16.59\00:28:18.39
Isn't it nice to
have fun to get together.
00:28:18.43\00:28:22.46
And get together as family
and as friends and have fun,
00:28:22.50\00:28:25.33
and you're part of that,
you're part of the family.
00:28:25.37\00:28:27.44
Without you
there would be no 3ABN.
00:28:27.47\00:28:29.60
So we thank you for
your love and your prayers
00:28:29.64\00:28:31.91
and your financial support.
00:28:31.94\00:28:33.54
And we want you to
know that we love you.
00:28:33.58\00:28:35.18
We're here to
support you, to pray for you.
00:28:35.21\00:28:37.45
Thank you for those
who write in so often,
00:28:37.48\00:28:40.02
everyday,
whether it's the emails,
00:28:40.05\00:28:42.05
whether it's phone calls,
00:28:42.08\00:28:43.42
whether it's
letters and you say,
00:28:43.45\00:28:44.99
you know, pray for me,
00:28:45.02\00:28:46.35
I have this
need, I have that need.
00:28:46.39\00:28:47.72
I've signed a
lot of letters today.
00:28:47.76\00:28:49.26
And no telling how
many Greg and Jill,
00:28:49.29\00:28:50.93
in each department
you all are signing
00:28:50.96\00:28:53.03
and the pastors of
people letting them know that,
00:28:53.06\00:28:55.46
yes, we care about
you, we're here for you,
00:28:55.50\00:28:58.10
and we're part of
the family of God.
00:28:58.13\00:29:00.20
All of us, that's what we are.
00:29:00.24\00:29:01.80
Yvonne, we're just
part of the family of God.
00:29:01.84\00:29:04.14
And the family of God is
gonna get bigger and bigger,
00:29:04.17\00:29:06.57
it's gonna
crescendo till Jesus comes
00:29:06.61\00:29:08.81
if we're doing our part.
00:29:08.84\00:29:10.58
So we want to
make sure that we are
00:29:10.61\00:29:12.68
because to me
there's such a blessing,
00:29:12.71\00:29:15.25
and this time of the year
00:29:15.28\00:29:16.62
when the world is
willing to hear about Jesus,
00:29:16.65\00:29:19.75
we need to be out there,
00:29:19.79\00:29:21.16
you know, as I
mentioned almost every program,
00:29:21.19\00:29:23.32
somebody says, "Well,
00:29:23.36\00:29:24.69
I don't like the word Christmas,
00:29:24.73\00:29:26.13
you shouldn't use
the word Christmas."
00:29:26.16\00:29:27.90
We used to put
holiday programs years ago
00:29:27.93\00:29:30.60
because people said, "Well,
you shouldn't say Christmas,
00:29:30.63\00:29:32.77
Christ wasn't born."
00:29:32.80\00:29:34.14
And we know that
on December 25th.
00:29:34.17\00:29:36.10
So we'd say, you
know, "Holiday programs."
00:29:36.14\00:29:38.17
But then all of sudden,
00:29:38.21\00:29:39.54
everybody in the
world started saying,
00:29:39.57\00:29:40.98
"Let's take Christmas out
00:29:41.01\00:29:42.34
and call them holiday programs."
00:29:42.38\00:29:43.71
So then we said, "No,
we're gonna do the opposite.
00:29:43.75\00:29:45.41
We're gonna go back
into Christmas programs
00:29:45.45\00:29:48.72
'cause at least
it's pointing to Jesus
00:29:48.75\00:29:51.02
and not just a holiday."
00:29:51.05\00:29:52.39
That's right.
00:29:52.42\00:29:53.76
So He is the
reason for the season.
00:29:53.79\00:29:55.19
That's right. Amen.
00:29:55.22\00:29:58.36
I think it's time for
Celestine to sing a little.
00:29:58.39\00:30:00.93
Oh, good. All right.
00:30:00.96\00:30:02.30
I'm looking
forward to it, Celestine.
00:30:02.33\00:30:03.67
This is a beautiful song.
00:30:03.70\00:30:05.03
And so, gentlemen, why
don't you sit, be seated.
00:30:05.07\00:30:08.07
And this is
called breath of heaven
00:30:08.10\00:30:11.31
and it's also known
as Mary's song, right?
00:30:11.34\00:30:14.28
So I think you'll
do a great job on this.
00:30:14.31\00:30:15.98
I have travelled
00:30:30.16\00:30:34.43
Many moonless nights
00:30:34.46\00:30:38.73
Cold and weary
00:30:38.77\00:30:42.57
With a babe inside
00:30:42.60\00:30:46.78
And I wonder
00:30:46.81\00:30:49.58
What I've done
00:30:49.61\00:30:54.85
Holy Father you have come
00:30:54.88\00:31:01.26
And chosen me now
00:31:01.29\00:31:05.29
To carry your Son
00:31:05.33\00:31:09.00
I am waiting
00:31:14.84\00:31:18.91
In a silent prayer
00:31:18.94\00:31:22.61
I am frightened
00:31:22.64\00:31:26.45
By the load I bear
00:31:26.48\00:31:30.32
In a world as cold
00:31:30.35\00:31:33.62
As stone
00:31:33.66\00:31:38.33
Must I walk this path alone?
00:31:38.36\00:31:44.73
Be with me now
00:31:44.77\00:31:48.57
Be with me now
00:31:48.60\00:31:54.84
Breath of Heaven
00:31:54.88\00:31:58.81
Hold me together
00:31:58.85\00:32:01.85
Be forever near me
00:32:01.88\00:32:06.05
Breath of Heaven
00:32:06.09\00:32:10.06

Pour over me your holiness
00:32:16.80\00:32:20.47

00:32:20.50\00:32:26.41
Breath of
Heaven Breath of Heaven
00:32:26.44\00:32:29.71
Do you wander
00:32:34.82\00:32:38.69
As you watch my face
00:32:38.72\00:32:42.42
If a wiser one
00:32:42.46\00:32:46.16
Should have had my place
00:32:46.19\00:32:50.07
But I offer
00:32:50.10\00:32:52.57
All I am
00:32:52.60\00:32:57.57
For the mercy of your plan
00:32:57.61\00:33:03.88
Help me be strong
00:33:03.91\00:33:07.62
Help me be
00:33:07.65\00:33:11.62
Help me
00:33:11.65\00:33:17.76
Breath of Heaven
00:33:17.79\00:33:21.50
Hold me together
00:33:21.53\00:33:24.40
Be forever near me
00:33:24.43\00:33:28.17

00:33:55.16\00:33:58.73
Breath of Heaven
00:33:58.77\00:34:02.50
Breath of Heaven
00:34:02.54\00:34:06.17
Lighten my darkness
00:34:06.21\00:34:09.04
Pour over me your holiness
00:34:09.08\00:34:12.48
For you are holy
00:34:12.51\00:34:18.59
Breath of Heaven
00:34:18.62\00:34:24.56
Breath of Heaven
00:34:24.59\00:34:30.47
Breath of Heaven
00:34:30.50\00:34:34.67
Amen.
00:34:38.64\00:34:39.97
Beautiful.
00:34:40.01\00:34:41.34
That was
something you must pull.
00:34:41.38\00:34:42.71
Oh, heaven's nice.
00:34:42.74\00:34:44.18
Now you girls didn't
really plan that, did you?
00:34:44.21\00:34:46.41
No, we did not.
00:34:46.45\00:34:48.12
We kind of sure
couldn't tell it.
00:34:48.15\00:34:49.48
It was an honor to
sing with you, Yvonne.
00:34:49.52\00:34:52.49
Oh, my goodness.
That was a blessing.
00:34:52.52\00:34:53.86
Thank you.
00:34:53.89\00:34:55.29
Sounded great,
sounded beautiful.
00:34:55.32\00:34:57.83
Wonderful song
for female voices.
00:34:57.86\00:34:59.56
Yes.
00:34:59.59\00:35:00.93
It is Mary's, it's not Joseph's,
00:35:00.96\00:35:02.66
that's why we sat down.
00:35:02.70\00:35:06.03
That's true. All right.
00:35:06.07\00:35:08.14
Why don't we do
something to folks,
00:35:08.17\00:35:09.50
we know you'll
know this at home.
00:35:09.54\00:35:11.31
Can we do like Silent Night?
00:35:11.34\00:35:12.81
Okay. Yeah, let's do.
00:35:12.84\00:35:14.51
This is a good key for you.
00:35:14.54\00:35:17.15
Between all of us,
00:35:17.18\00:35:18.51
it will a good key for somebody.
00:35:18.55\00:35:22.55
Right.
00:35:22.58\00:35:23.92
Silent night,
00:35:30.19\00:35:34.33
Holy night
00:35:34.36\00:35:38.27
All is calm,
00:35:38.30\00:35:42.27
All is bright
00:35:42.30\00:35:46.44
Round yon Virgin
00:35:46.47\00:35:50.61
Mother and Child
00:35:50.65\00:35:54.65
Holy infant
00:35:54.68\00:35:58.15
So tender and mild
00:35:58.19\00:36:02.82
Sleep in heavenly
00:36:02.86\00:36:07.20
Peace
00:36:07.23\00:36:11.00
Sleep in heavenly
00:36:11.03\00:36:15.44
Peace
00:36:15.47\00:36:19.51
Silent night,
00:36:19.54\00:36:23.48
Holy night!
00:36:23.51\00:36:27.32
Shepherds quake
00:36:27.35\00:36:31.32
At the sight
00:36:31.35\00:36:35.36
Glories stream
00:36:35.39\00:36:38.66
From heaven afar
00:36:38.69\00:36:43.26
Heavenly hosts sing Alleluia
00:36:43.30\00:36:49.67
Christ the Savior is born
00:36:49.70\00:36:51.44
Christ the Savior is
00:36:51.47\00:36:55.91
Born
00:36:55.94\00:36:59.01
Sing with us.
00:36:59.05\00:37:00.38
Christ the Savior is born
00:37:00.42\00:37:04.95
One more verse.
00:37:04.99\00:37:07.86
Silent night,
00:37:07.89\00:37:12.09
Holy night
00:37:12.13\00:37:16.16
Son of God,
00:37:16.20\00:37:20.44
Love's pure light
00:37:20.47\00:37:24.71
Radiant beams
00:37:24.74\00:37:28.28
From Thy holy face
00:37:28.31\00:37:33.01
With the dawn
00:37:33.05\00:37:36.35
Of redeeming grace
00:37:36.38\00:37:41.52
Jesus Lord,
00:37:41.56\00:37:44.89
At Thy birth
00:37:44.93\00:37:50.07
Jesus Lord,
00:37:50.10\00:37:53.87
At Thy birth
00:37:53.90\00:37:57.87
Amen.
00:38:01.28\00:38:02.61
I have no idea how long ago,
I know it's an old, old song,
00:38:02.64\00:38:06.05
but one of the most beautiful.
00:38:06.08\00:38:07.68
Again, it seems like,
every song we're singing,
00:38:07.72\00:38:10.45
we say, wow, that's
one of the most beautiful.
00:38:10.49\00:38:12.72
But what an
incredible, incredible song
00:38:12.75\00:38:16.66
written many, many years ago,
00:38:16.69\00:38:19.26
thinking about
silent night, holy night.
00:38:19.29\00:38:22.40
And you think about, you picture
00:38:22.43\00:38:24.17
that manger you were
talking about earlier.
00:38:24.20\00:38:26.40
You picture the inn
00:38:26.43\00:38:28.20
and then no
room even in the inn.
00:38:28.24\00:38:30.74
And I'm sure it wasn't much.
00:38:30.77\00:38:32.47
And then they said,
well, all we have is a stable.
00:38:32.51\00:38:35.84
I mean, lot of people,
if you live on the farm,
00:38:35.88\00:38:38.88
you live out in
the country like we do,
00:38:38.91\00:38:40.28
you know what a stable is.
00:38:40.32\00:38:41.88
And then they said,
well, you got to live,
00:38:41.92\00:38:43.45
go out there that maybe,
00:38:43.49\00:38:45.35
at that time it maybe
an oxen, it maybe cattle,
00:38:45.39\00:38:48.32
it could be, you know,
whatever out there, sheep.
00:38:48.36\00:38:51.76
Yeah, mice for sure.
00:38:51.79\00:38:53.90
Yeah.
00:38:53.93\00:38:55.30
But, you know, the
fact hit, you go out there,
00:38:55.33\00:38:58.00
and that's where
the Son of God chose,
00:38:58.03\00:39:00.90
that is no accident.
00:39:00.94\00:39:02.77
That is no accident,
chose to be born there.
00:39:02.80\00:39:06.01
That's right.
00:39:06.04\00:39:07.44
Chose to be born there.
00:39:07.48\00:39:08.81
We may have to write a song
00:39:08.84\00:39:10.18
'cause if
there's not one already,
00:39:10.21\00:39:11.55
chose to be born there.
00:39:11.58\00:39:12.98
Wow.
00:39:13.01\00:39:14.35
Because we can't say, well,
you know, He had an advantage.
00:39:14.38\00:39:18.12
Jesus on earth, He
was born to wealthy family
00:39:18.15\00:39:20.46
and got a great education,
and He did all of this.
00:39:20.49\00:39:23.02
No, no.
00:39:23.06\00:39:24.39
And you said while ago,
00:39:24.43\00:39:25.99
He got in human
flesh, in human skin.
00:39:26.03\00:39:28.60
So He said, "You know,
00:39:28.63\00:39:29.96
I'm gonna come
down to this earth,
00:39:30.00\00:39:32.30
and I'm gonna
live on this earth."
00:39:32.33\00:39:34.27
The Godhead planned this.
00:39:34.30\00:39:35.77
This is no
accident. That's right.
00:39:35.80\00:39:37.61
So people say,
well, and the Bible says,
00:39:37.64\00:39:40.11
"For God so loved the world."
00:39:40.14\00:39:41.78
But the Godhead's came up
with the plan of salvation
00:39:41.81\00:39:45.38
where Jesus came to this earth
00:39:45.41\00:39:47.95
born in very and as
humble as you can be born,
00:39:47.98\00:39:52.69
and lived a life
00:39:52.72\00:39:54.82
that most of us
would not want to live.
00:39:54.86\00:39:56.99
That's right.
00:39:57.03\00:39:58.36
And then suffered
everything you can think of,
00:39:58.39\00:40:01.80
from literal,
physical whippings, beatings,
00:40:01.83\00:40:05.03
crown of thorn, pierced
inside, all of these things.
00:40:05.07\00:40:10.54
They said, "Well,
they took His life,
00:40:10.57\00:40:12.17
they killed Him."
00:40:12.21\00:40:13.54
No, they didn't.
00:40:13.58\00:40:14.91
His love that held
Jesus to the cross.
00:40:14.94\00:40:16.28
That's right.
00:40:16.31\00:40:17.65
The nails didn't held
Jesus, hold Jesus to the cross,
00:40:17.68\00:40:19.68
it wasn't nails, it was
His love for fallen man.
00:40:19.71\00:40:22.88
So when I hear
silent night, holy night.
00:40:22.92\00:40:25.85
Got to go back to
thinking about how He was born
00:40:25.89\00:40:29.82
and then you think
about Him on the cross
00:40:29.86\00:40:33.96
sweating great drops of blood
00:40:34.00\00:40:36.60
even the night before
00:40:36.63\00:40:37.97
when He was in the
Garden of Gethsemane,
00:40:38.00\00:40:40.40
carrying the sins of the world.
00:40:40.44\00:40:44.27
And then, "Father, forgive them,
00:40:44.31\00:40:46.51
for they know not what they do."
00:40:46.54\00:40:48.88
I mean, think of that,
00:40:48.91\00:40:50.45
when He could have
called 10,000 angels.
00:40:50.48\00:40:53.11
Could have called million angels
00:40:53.15\00:40:54.48
if He wanted, right?
00:40:54.52\00:40:56.42
Could have called all of heaven,
00:40:56.45\00:40:57.95
but He didn't need it,
00:40:57.99\00:40:59.32
He chose to say,
"This is what I want to do.
00:40:59.35\00:41:03.53
I want to show My love."
00:41:03.56\00:41:05.06
Not just talk about
it, I wanna show My love.
00:41:05.09\00:41:07.86
Now, rested in the
tomb over the Sabbath,
00:41:07.90\00:41:12.10
Sunday morning,
00:41:12.13\00:41:13.84
early in the
morning, guess what?
00:41:13.87\00:41:18.11
The tomb was
empty. That's right.
00:41:18.14\00:41:19.57
Jesus is risen from the tomb.
00:41:19.61\00:41:21.21
Mary and other
Mary came and said,
00:41:21.24\00:41:23.88
you know, He
said, "Touch Me not,
00:41:23.91\00:41:25.25
I've not yet
ascended to My Father."
00:41:25.28\00:41:26.61
They didn't
even know who He was.
00:41:26.65\00:41:28.32
Couldn't comprehend it,
00:41:28.35\00:41:29.68
the disciples
were hiding for fear.
00:41:29.72\00:41:31.59
You know they didn't know
what was going on, Jesus knew.
00:41:31.62\00:41:34.69
Jesus knew, He
had it all planned.
00:41:34.72\00:41:36.62
It's all planned.
00:41:36.66\00:41:38.06
Now, few days
later, we'll fast forward.
00:41:38.09\00:41:41.60
He's ever
interceding at the right hand
00:41:41.63\00:41:43.93
of the Father
right now for you and me.
00:41:43.97\00:41:45.50
Nothing that you have
done in your life is so bad,
00:41:45.53\00:41:48.44
God won't forgive it.
00:41:48.47\00:41:50.41
You just say, "Lord,
please forgive me for my sins."
00:41:50.44\00:41:53.07
He's faithful and
just to forgive us
00:41:53.11\00:41:54.84
from our sins and cleanse us
00:41:54.88\00:41:56.44
from some of
our unrighteousness.
00:41:56.48\00:41:58.15
All.
00:41:58.18\00:41:59.51
Oh, all right, thank
you for the correction,
00:41:59.55\00:42:01.12
all of our unrighteousness.
00:42:01.15\00:42:02.75
Aren't we glad about that?
00:42:02.78\00:42:04.12
Aren't you glad about that?
00:42:04.15\00:42:05.65
That's literally
all we have to do.
00:42:05.69\00:42:07.86
Once we come to
the foot of the cross,
00:42:07.89\00:42:09.79
we confess our
sins, He forgives us.
00:42:09.82\00:42:12.23
All He says is, "Go and
tell what I've done for you."
00:42:12.26\00:42:14.66
Your personal testimony
is your greatest asset,
00:42:14.70\00:42:17.97
that you have to
share the Word of God.
00:42:18.00\00:42:20.14
Nobody can tell you that,
oh, well, God can't do this.
00:42:20.17\00:42:23.54
The Lord didn't do this.
00:42:23.57\00:42:24.91
And yet, how did they know?
00:42:24.94\00:42:26.27
It's between you and God.
00:42:26.31\00:42:27.64
So what the Lord
has done for you,
00:42:27.68\00:42:30.35
when you share
that, that brings hope
00:42:30.38\00:42:34.12
and a light to a
lost and dying world.
00:42:34.15\00:42:36.42
That's what we are to be.
00:42:36.45\00:42:37.79
Let Jesus work in us
and through us and say,
00:42:37.82\00:42:41.09
Lord, just make
me a vessel of honor.
00:42:41.12\00:42:43.22
I'm not
perfect, I never will be,
00:42:43.26\00:42:45.23
neither you by the way.
00:42:45.26\00:42:46.90
So if you're
watching this, none of us are.
00:42:46.93\00:42:49.10
But let us be
vessels of honor for You.
00:42:49.13\00:42:53.03
And then we just simply
go and tell what He's done.
00:42:53.07\00:42:55.57
Soon and very soon,
00:42:55.60\00:42:57.64
and I believe now
more than ever before
00:42:57.67\00:43:00.08
in the last few years,
in the last few months,
00:43:00.11\00:43:03.04
the signs of the times.
00:43:03.08\00:43:04.58
We have to be
totally our eyes shut,
00:43:04.61\00:43:08.82
not wanting to hear
00:43:08.85\00:43:10.19
if we don't see
the things around us
00:43:10.22\00:43:12.25
is fulfilling, Pastor.
00:43:12.29\00:43:14.22
The literally the
end-time prophetic events
00:43:14.26\00:43:16.99
is spoken of,
00:43:17.03\00:43:18.36
Daniel and Revelation right now.
00:43:18.39\00:43:20.66
Jesus is coming very soon.
00:43:20.70\00:43:22.33
Where are you gonna be?
00:43:22.36\00:43:23.70
When He comes back
in the clouds of glory,
00:43:23.73\00:43:25.43
you're gonna be
looking up and say, "Lo,
00:43:25.47\00:43:27.17
this is our God
whom we've waited for.
00:43:27.20\00:43:29.00
He's come to save us."
00:43:29.04\00:43:30.41
Or we're gonna run for
the rocks and mountains.
00:43:30.44\00:43:32.97
You know, Danny,
you said something
00:43:33.01\00:43:34.34
that was interesting.
00:43:34.38\00:43:35.71
When Jesus was born,
it was a silent night.
00:43:35.74\00:43:38.48
No one knew. Come on.
00:43:38.51\00:43:39.91
And He didn't say
a word. There you go.
00:43:39.95\00:43:41.58
When He was on
His way to the cross,
00:43:41.62\00:43:44.52
the Bible says He was led
as the lamb to the slaughter,
00:43:44.55\00:43:47.59
yet He opened not His
mouth, another silent moment.
00:43:47.62\00:43:50.46
Not a numb, mumbling words.
00:43:50.49\00:43:52.03
But David the Psalmist
says, "When He comes back,
00:43:52.06\00:43:54.46
our Lord shall come
and shall not keep silent."
00:43:54.50\00:43:57.13
All right.
00:43:57.17\00:43:58.50
So when, I'm
looking forward to the day
00:43:58.53\00:43:59.87
when Jesus opens
His mouth to declare
00:43:59.90\00:44:02.70
that He alone is worthy,
00:44:02.74\00:44:04.94
and because of His shed
blood because of Calvary,
00:44:04.97\00:44:07.48
we can all be a part of that.
00:44:07.51\00:44:09.08
So praise God for
that silent night.
00:44:09.11\00:44:11.08
And it teaches me
there's a time to be quiet,
00:44:11.11\00:44:13.88
there's a time to speak.
00:44:13.92\00:44:15.25
When the Lord speaks,
00:44:15.28\00:44:16.62
He's not just going
to shake the heavens,
00:44:16.65\00:44:18.39
He's going to
shake the earth also.
00:44:18.42\00:44:20.12
What a glorious day
when Jesus comes again.
00:44:20.16\00:44:22.52
What are we gonna do next?
00:44:22.56\00:44:23.89
You know, I want
to sing a song about,
00:44:23.93\00:44:25.26
you know, a lot of people
00:44:25.29\00:44:26.63
that are going
through this time of year,
00:44:26.66\00:44:28.00
they are facing silent nights.
00:44:28.03\00:44:30.07
You know, when you pray,
and the heavens are silent?
00:44:30.10\00:44:32.70
Yes.
00:44:32.73\00:44:34.07
And I want to
encourage the viewers.
00:44:34.10\00:44:35.47
Yeah.
00:44:35.50\00:44:36.84
I'm going to sing,
so you'll be seated.
00:44:36.87\00:44:38.21
Listen to this,
00:44:38.24\00:44:39.57
because this has got
such a great message to it.
00:44:39.61\00:44:41.41
I love the words of this.
00:44:41.44\00:44:43.48
And if you are
facing a situation
00:44:43.51\00:44:47.72
that you've been praying about
00:44:47.75\00:44:49.08
and you don't hear
God answering a prayer,
00:44:49.12\00:44:53.69
I would encourage you to hold on
00:44:53.72\00:44:56.32
because God is faithful.
00:44:56.36\00:45:00.56
All is calm and all is bright
00:45:00.60\00:45:07.27
Everywhere but in
your heart tonight
00:45:07.30\00:45:13.68
They're singing
carols of joy and peace
00:45:13.71\00:45:20.48
But you feel too far gone
00:45:20.52\00:45:23.25
And too far out of reach
00:45:23.28\00:45:25.55
Somewhere in your silent night
00:45:29.49\00:45:35.23
Heaven hears the song
00:45:35.26\00:45:38.10
Your broken heart has cried
00:45:38.13\00:45:42.80
Hope is here,
just lift your head
00:45:42.84\00:45:47.08
For love has come to find you
00:45:47.11\00:45:52.05
Somewhere in your silent night
00:45:52.08\00:45:57.75
From heaven's
height to manger low
00:46:02.29\00:46:09.00
There is no distance
00:46:09.03\00:46:11.50
The Prince of Peace won't go
00:46:11.53\00:46:15.74
From manger low
00:46:15.77\00:46:19.07
To Calvary's hill
00:46:19.11\00:46:23.08
When your pain runs deep
00:46:23.11\00:46:25.11
His love runs deeper still
00:46:25.15\00:46:30.22
He has always loved you, child
00:46:30.25\00:46:33.42
And He always will
00:46:33.46\00:46:38.49
Somewhere in your silent night
00:46:38.53\00:46:43.87
Heaven hears the song
00:46:43.90\00:46:46.43
Your broken heart has cried
00:46:46.47\00:46:50.51
Hope is here,
just lift your head
00:46:50.54\00:46:54.41
For love has come to find you
00:46:54.44\00:46:58.81
Somewhere in your silent night
00:46:58.85\00:47:03.82
Oh, lift your head
00:47:07.69\00:47:11.16
Lift your heart
00:47:11.19\00:47:15.06
Emmanuel will
meet you where you are
00:47:15.10\00:47:20.77
He knows your hurt
00:47:20.80\00:47:23.91
He knows your name
00:47:23.94\00:47:28.28
And you're the very reason
00:47:28.31\00:47:31.41
That He came
00:47:31.45\00:47:35.42
Somewhere in your silent night
00:47:39.25\00:47:45.43
Heaven hears the song
00:47:45.46\00:47:48.26
Your broken heart has cried
00:47:48.30\00:47:53.07
Hope is here,
just lift your head
00:47:53.10\00:47:57.47
For love has come to find you
00:47:57.51\00:48:02.51
Somewhere in your silent night
00:48:02.54\00:48:08.52
Love will find you
00:48:12.22\00:48:16.22
Love will find you
00:48:20.16\00:48:25.17
Amen. Amen.
00:48:29.74\00:48:31.61
Beautiful. That was beautiful.
00:48:31.64\00:48:35.71
Just think about
Bethlehem morning.
00:48:35.74\00:48:38.35
When Jesus was born,
how quiet the setting was.
00:48:38.38\00:48:42.98
But then think about Jerusalem,
that's going to replace
00:48:43.02\00:48:47.09
that Bethlehem morning.
00:48:47.12\00:48:51.23
Lift up your hand
00:48:51.26\00:48:55.40
Don't you mourn
00:48:55.43\00:48:59.17
His hand is stretched out still
00:48:59.20\00:49:05.57
For unto us
00:49:05.61\00:49:09.04
A Child is born
00:49:09.08\00:49:13.05
His promise to fulfill
00:49:13.08\00:49:18.05
Jerusalem!
00:49:21.72\00:49:28.56
He cried for you
00:49:28.60\00:49:32.57
He did not come to you
00:49:36.27\00:49:41.84
In vain
00:49:41.88\00:49:45.85
His open arms
00:49:49.15\00:49:55.22
Are open wide for you
00:49:55.26\00:50:01.26
And He will come
00:50:05.07\00:50:08.90
He will come again
00:50:08.94\00:50:15.71
Bethlehem
00:50:15.74\00:50:18.35
Morning
00:50:18.38\00:50:23.05
Is more than
00:50:23.08\00:50:24.95
Just a memory
00:50:24.99\00:50:30.16
For the Child
00:50:30.19\00:50:32.13
That was born there
00:50:32.16\00:50:37.43
Has come to set us free
00:50:37.47\00:50:41.44
Bethlehem sunrise
00:50:44.81\00:50:51.48
I can see it
00:50:51.51\00:50:53.21
In your eyes
00:50:53.25\00:50:58.95
For the Child
00:50:58.99\00:51:00.92
That was born there
00:51:00.96\00:51:06.29
His kingdom never dies
00:51:06.33\00:51:10.10
Peace on earth,
00:51:10.13\00:51:14.87
good will to men
00:51:14.90\00:51:19.87
His star
00:51:23.21\00:51:28.55
Will never grow dim
00:51:28.58\00:51:34.12
And it's a brand
00:51:34.16\00:51:39.86
New song
00:51:39.89\00:51:42.33
For the New Jerusalem
00:51:42.36\00:51:46.67
And we, and we will reign
00:51:50.07\00:51:55.94
We will reign with Him
00:51:55.98\00:52:02.92
Bethlehem
00:52:02.95\00:52:05.39
Morning
00:52:05.42\00:52:09.99
It is more than
00:52:10.03\00:52:12.03
Just a memory
00:52:12.06\00:52:17.13
For the Child
00:52:17.17\00:52:19.20
That was born there
00:52:19.23\00:52:24.31
Has come to set us free
00:52:24.34\00:52:28.31
Bethlehem
00:52:31.98\00:52:34.08
Sunrise
00:52:34.12\00:52:38.95
I can see it in your eyes
00:52:38.99\00:52:44.96
For the Child
that was born there
00:52:48.00\00:52:54.10
He is the king of kings
00:52:54.14\00:52:59.31
And the Lord of lords
00:52:59.34\00:53:04.81
And He will come
00:53:04.85\00:53:07.82
Again
00:53:11.65\00:53:17.66
Amen.
00:53:25.67\00:53:27.00
Amen. Amen.
00:53:27.04\00:53:28.37
As much is Christmas is
about the birth of Christ,
00:53:34.91\00:53:38.41
I love that
it's really about us.
00:53:38.45\00:53:42.18
And I don't mean to
be selfish about it,
00:53:42.22\00:53:44.02
but we're the
reason that He came.
00:53:44.05\00:53:46.09
That's right. Okay.
00:53:46.12\00:53:47.49
And so, that's
what a wonderful thing
00:53:47.52\00:53:49.89
that we can celebrate together
that we're the very reason.
00:53:49.92\00:53:53.80
Amen.
00:53:53.83\00:53:55.16
Celestine, you gonna do this?
00:53:55.20\00:53:56.53
Yeah, I think you can do this.
00:53:56.56\00:53:57.90
That's right. Let's do it.
00:53:57.93\00:53:59.27
As little children
00:54:11.08\00:54:13.35
We would dream of Christmas morn
00:54:13.38\00:54:17.62
And all the gifts and toys
00:54:17.65\00:54:20.99
We knew we'd find
00:54:21.02\00:54:24.93
But we never realized
00:54:24.96\00:54:28.16
A baby born one blessed night
00:54:28.20\00:54:33.57
Gave us the greatest gift
00:54:33.60\00:54:37.64
Of our lives
00:54:37.67\00:54:43.04
We are the reason
00:54:43.08\00:54:46.11
That He gave His life
00:54:46.15\00:54:50.55
We are the reason
00:54:50.59\00:54:53.49
That He suffered and died
00:54:53.52\00:54:57.46
To a world that was lost
00:54:57.49\00:55:00.30
He gave all He could give
00:55:00.33\00:55:04.97
To show us the reason to live
00:55:05.00\00:55:11.87
I finally found
my reason for living
00:55:11.91\00:55:17.71
It's in giving
every part of my heart
00:55:17.75\00:55:22.62
To Him
00:55:22.65\00:55:25.09
In all that I do
every word that I say
00:55:25.12\00:55:31.23
I'll be giving my all
00:55:31.26\00:55:34.76
Just for Him
00:55:34.80\00:55:38.83
For Him
00:55:38.87\00:55:43.24
We are the reason
that He gave His life
00:55:43.27\00:55:50.21
We are the reason
that He suffered and died
00:55:50.25\00:55:56.58
To a world that was lost
00:55:56.62\00:55:59.35
He gave all He could give
00:55:59.39\00:56:03.73
To show us the reason
00:56:03.76\00:56:06.56
To live
00:56:06.59\00:56:10.80
He is my reason
00:56:10.83\00:56:13.84
To live
00:56:13.87\00:56:17.84
Praise the Lord. Amen.
00:56:21.71\00:56:23.04
He is the reason to live. Amen.
00:56:23.08\00:56:25.85
We are reason for Him,
and He's our reason to live,
00:56:25.88\00:56:29.45
to know we have
hope for the future.
00:56:29.48\00:56:31.65
That's right.
00:56:31.69\00:56:33.02
Can you imagine
getting out of this earth
00:56:33.05\00:56:34.39
as messed up as it is,
00:56:34.42\00:56:35.99
and living with Him, no
more sickness, no more pain,
00:56:36.02\00:56:38.66
no more sorrow, no more death.
00:56:38.69\00:56:41.26
Sounds unreal.
00:56:41.30\00:56:42.63
If it sounds
unreal, it is in this earth.
00:56:42.66\00:56:45.10
But eye have not
seen nor ear heard,
00:56:45.13\00:56:46.97
neither has it
entered into the heart of man
00:56:47.00\00:56:49.34
that things that God
has prepared for them.
00:56:49.37\00:56:51.84
So by faith, we go forward,
just like Hebrews 11 today,
00:56:51.87\00:56:56.24
we go, by faith
we gonna see afar.
00:56:56.28\00:56:58.95
We're strangers, sojourners,
00:56:58.98\00:57:00.78
but soon, very soon
we won't call it home.
00:57:00.82\00:57:03.32
We gonna say, well, we're home.
00:57:03.35\00:57:05.35
Amen. Amen.
00:57:05.39\00:57:06.72
Home for eternity.
00:57:06.76\00:57:08.09
Home at last, absolutely.
00:57:08.12\00:57:09.72
Listen, our time
is all gone for today.
00:57:09.76\00:57:11.46
I can't believe
that it went as quickly.
00:57:11.49\00:57:13.93
Right. Thank
you, Celestine, Tim.
00:57:13.96\00:57:15.96
John, Yvonne, for being here.
00:57:16.00\00:57:17.57
Thank you for
being here with us.
00:57:17.60\00:57:20.07
We appreciate it.
We love you very much.
00:57:20.10\00:57:22.04
But I have to say
this our time is all gone.
00:57:22.07\00:57:24.21
So until we see you next time,
00:57:24.24\00:57:25.64
may the Lord richly
bless you abundantly
00:57:25.67\00:57:27.68
more than you
could ever ask or think.
00:57:27.71\00:57:29.74
