There's no 00:01:35.96\00:01:40.53 that Mary treasured the fact that she was chosen to bring in 00:01:40.56\00:01:43.30 the Savior of the world. Yet I don't think she fully understood 00:01:43.33\00:01:47.34 what that would require of her Son Jesus. Let's listen to Jada 00:01:47.37\00:01:51.07 play Mary, Did You Know on a steel pan. 00:01:51.11\00:01:53.61 ¤ ¤ 00:01:53.64\00:03:45.55 We can only imagine how Mary's heart must have 00:03:45.59\00:03:48.36 felt to be holding 00:03:48.39\00:03:49.72 the Savior of the world.

Let's start off with a question first. 00:10:47.98\00:10:51.18 Have any of you every built a sand castle? And maybe because 00:10:51.21\00:10:56.32 there were a lot of people watching you may have not built 00:10:56.35\00:11:00.29 a sand castle before. Maybe you've built a snow castle 00:11:00.32\00:11:03.22 before. Or picked up a bunch of snow and built it into little 00:11:03.26\00:11:06.96 snow balls. Well of course I live in California so I can't 00:11:07.00\00:11:11.67 build a snow castle or snow balls. So today we will be 00:11:11.70\00:11:16.20 talking about sand castles. One time I went to the beach with my 00:11:16.24\00:11:20.48 church friends and, it's the beach, let's build a sand castle 00:11:20.51\00:11:24.58 So I took a little time building molding a sand castle, then it 00:11:24.61\00:11:29.75 got hit by a wave. So then I decided to move back a little 00:11:29.78\00:11:34.19 bit further and decided to mold it together, put the water back 00:11:34.22\00:11:39.43 in it and it was finally perfect And as any excited person would 00:11:39.46\00:11:46.43 do, I jumped up and was super excited that I decided to tell 00:11:46.47\00:11:50.11 my friends because I'd say it was a pretty good sand castle. 00:11:50.14\00:11:53.38 But because it's the beach and it has so many exciting things 00:11:53.41\00:11:57.71 I got a little bit distracted and as I started to play in the 00:11:57.75\00:12:02.98 water, I forgot about the sand castle. So I ran back without 00:12:03.02\00:12:06.52 even telling my friends that I'd built a sand castle. And guess 00:12:06.55\00:12:10.33 what? My sand castle was destroyed. I got so distracted 00:12:10.36\00:12:16.16 with my friends and playing in the water because it's a beach 00:12:16.20\00:12:19.73 that I forgot to check on my sand castle and my beautiful 00:12:19.77\00:12:23.67 piece of art was destroyed. Sometimes our sand castles are 00:12:23.71\00:12:29.94 like talents from God, gifts from God. We mold them up, we 00:12:29.98\00:12:34.98 practice our talents. We take time to build our sand castles 00:12:35.02\00:12:39.15 our talents and then we go off and we get distracted and when 00:12:39.19\00:12:44.49 we come back our sand castles, our talents, are gone. You know 00:12:44.53\00:12:50.23 God can do this to us if we don't use our talents and we get 00:12:50.27\00:12:54.00 distracted playing with the water, "water," or going off 00:12:54.04\00:12:58.37 with our friends and forgetting about our talents, when we come 00:12:58.41\00:13:01.81 back God has taken away those talents. Little drummer boy 00:13:01.84\00:13:07.22 practiced and practiced so he can play his drum well. This can 00:13:07.25\00:13:11.19 be like us. We could be the little drummer boy and practice 00:13:11.22\00:13:14.49 and practice our talents so we can perform them well. So right 00:13:14.52\00:13:19.46 now I want you to think about your talent. It could be two, it 00:13:19.49\00:13:24.33 could be three, it could be four or many be even one or skip to 00:13:24.37\00:13:28.84 ten. But whatever talent it is we should remember that God 00:13:28.87\00:13:33.14 gave them to us so that we can use them for Him and so that we 00:13:33.17\00:13:38.65 can practice so that our sand castles don't get destroyed. 00:13:38.68\00:13:42.05 Let's look at Romans 12 verses 6-8. Starting at verse 6 it says 00:13:42.08\00:13:49.79 In His grace, God has given us different gifts for doing 00:13:49.82\00:13:54.23 certain things well. So if God has given you the ability to 00:13:54.26\00:13:58.27 prophesy speak out with as much faith as God had give you. If 00:13:58.30\00:14:03.20 your gift is serving others serve them well. If you are a 00:14:03.24\00:14:07.18 teacher teach well. If your gift is to encourage others be 00:14:07.21\00:14:10.71 encouraging. If it to giving, give generously. If God has 00:14:10.75\00:14:15.38 given you leadership ability take the responsibility 00:14:15.42\00:14:19.85 seriously and if you have a gift for showing kindness to others 00:14:19.89\00:14:23.26 do it gladly. I challenge you today to follow what this verse 00:14:23.29\00:14:29.53 says. If you have talents then practice them, practice them 00:14:29.56\00:14:32.47 well and remember that God gave them to you. So use them for Him 00:14:32.50\00:14:39.27 Remember don't ruin your sand castles. 00:14:39.31\00:14:42.14 Thank you Logan for that thought It's true. Sometimes we destroy 00:14:42.18\00:14:46.41 our sand castles. We feel we have nothing to give and often 00:14:46.45\00:14:50.15 we get discouraged. Yet that is why Jesus came to the earth. 00:14:50.19\00:14:54.02 He wanted to bring comfort and joy. Please listen carefully to 00:14:54.06\00:14:57.69 the words of this next song. 00:14:57.73\00:15:00.66 ¤ ¤ 00:15:00.70\00:15:10.01 ¤ God rest ye merry gentlemen Let nothing you dismay ¤ 00:15:10.04\00:15:14.34 ¤ Remember Christ our Savior was born on Christmas day ¤ 00:15:14.38\00:15:19.11 ¤ To save us all from Satan's power ¤ 00:15:19.15\00:15:21.78 ¤ When we were gone astray Oh, tidings of comfort and joy ¤ 00:15:21.82\00:15:27.02 ¤ Comfort and joy Oh, tidings of comfort and joy ¤ 00:15:27.06\00:15:33.19 ¤ Joy, joy ¤ 00:15:33.23\00:15:34.56 ¤ ¤ 00:15:34.60\00:15:38.87 ¤ In Bethlehem, in Israel the blessed Babe was born ¤ 00:15:38.90\00:15:42.10 ¤ And laid within a manger upon this blessed morn ¤ 00:15:42.14\00:15:47.14 ¤ The which His mother Mary did nothing take in scorn ¤ 00:15:47.18\00:15:51.41 ¤ Oh tidings of comfort and joy Comfort and joy ¤ 00:15:51.45\00:15:55.98 ¤ Oh tidings of comfort and joy joy, joy.

If I were a shepherd, I would bring a lamb 00:20:24.69\00:20:28.92 If I were a wise man I would do my part, but what can I give Him 00:20:28.96\00:20:33.60 I give Him my heart. I hope you too want to give your heart to 00:20:33.63\00:20:37.73 Jesus. It's a wonder to think how much Jesus loves us and that 00:20:37.77\00:20:42.50 he would come to this earth to save us and that He too gave His 00:20:42.54\00:20:45.94 very best.
