CHRIS: The King had come. The
Messiah had arrived. The angels
visited, the shepherds came, and
00:01:58.81\00:02:05.62
the wise men bore gifts. And
now, as Mary held Jesus in her
arms, she held the Creator, the
00:02:05.72\00:02:14.20
Saviour, and our King.
00:02:14.30\00:02:17.87
Hold on now, I
gotta take a deep breath;
00:02:22.34\00:02:24.44
I don't know what to say
when I look in your eyes.
00:02:24.71\00:02:29.94
You made the
world before I was born.
00:02:33.45\00:02:35.58
Here I am holding
you in my arms tonight
00:02:35.92\00:02:41.82
Noël, noël, Jesus our Immanuel.
00:02:44.39\00:02:54.67
You're here, and
I'm holding you so near.
00:02:55.40\00:03:04.65
I'm staring into the face of
my saviour, king and creator.
00:03:05.58\00:03:13.86
You could've left us on
our own, but you're here.
00:03:14.22\00:03:25.33
Don't know how long
I'm gonna have you for
00:03:30.01\00:03:32.74
But I'll be watching
when you change the world
00:03:32.97\00:03:38.35
I look at your
hands, so still, so small,
00:03:41.02\00:03:43.65
But someday you're going to
stretch them out and save us
00:03:43.95\00:03:50.43
all. Noël, noël,
God with us Immanuel.
00:03:52.49\00:04:02.47
You're here, and
I'm holding you so near.
00:04:03.27\00:04:11.81
I'm staring into the face of
my saviour, king and creator.
00:04:13.42\00:04:21.76
You could've left us on
our own, but you're here.
00:04:22.06\00:04:33.94
Someday I'm gonna
look back on this,
00:04:57.56\00:04:59.86
The night that
God became a baby boy.
00:05:00.16\00:05:05.43
Someday you're
gonna go home again,
00:05:09.04\00:05:11.17
But you'll leave your spirit
and flood the world with joy.
00:05:11.67\00:05:18.88
You'll be here, and
I'm holding you so near.
00:05:19.65\00:05:29.12
I'm staring into the face of
my saviour, king and creator.
00:05:29.46\00:05:37.90
You could've left us on our own,
but you're here, you're here.
00:05:38.27\00:05:51.81
Hallelujah you're here
00:05:52.35\00:05:57.59
Hallelujah you're here

CHRIS: With his arrival, there
was bound to be a change. He
came to bring peace, yet turmoil
00:06:11.40\00:06:17.81
abounded. He came to save and to
heal, yet there were so many
lost and diseased. In the midst
00:06:17.91\00:06:25.78
of the restlessness of the day,
amidst the problems of the day,
the news of his birth spread. He
00:06:25.88\00:06:33.46
lived his life to change the
world, and now, as we sing and
hear the songs and bells of
00:06:33.56\00:06:40.50
Christmas, may our hearts
be warmed by the peace that he
00:06:40.60\00:06:46.63
brings. I heard the
bells on Christmas Day
00:06:50.44\00:06:54.91
Their old, familiar carols play,
00:06:55.98\00:07:01.58
And mild and
sweet, their songs repeat
00:07:02.55\00:07:08.22
Of peace on
earth, good-will to men!
00:07:09.52\00:07:14.96
And the bells were ringing!
00:07:16.53\00:07:19.13
[Peace on earth]
00:07:19.93\00:07:22.34
Like a choir they're singing:
00:07:23.00\00:07:25.17
[Peace on earth]
00:07:25.54\00:07:29.21
Does anybody hear them?
00:07:29.54\00:07:31.75
Peace on earth, goodill to men!
00:07:32.18\00:07:41.36
And in despair I bowed my head.
00:07:42.82\00:07:46.26
"There is no
peace on earth," I said.
00:07:48.63\00:07:53.03
"For hate is
strong and mocks the song
00:07:55.67\00:07:59.21
Of peace on
earth, good-will to men!"
00:08:02.01\00:08:08.78
But those bells kept ringing!
00:08:09.12\00:08:11.35
[Peace on earth]
00:08:11.65\00:08:15.26
Like a choir, they're singing:
00:08:15.66\00:08:18.03
[Peace on earth]
00:08:18.29\00:08:21.96
Does anybody hear them?
00:08:22.26\00:08:24.67
Peace on earth, goodill to men!
00:08:24.97\00:08:34.08
Then rang the
bells more loud and deep:
00:08:38.28\00:08:41.18
"God is not dead,
nor does He sleep."
00:08:41.52\00:08:50.59
[Peace on earth, peace on earth]
00:08:51.06\00:08:51.73
The Wrong shall
fail, the Right prevail,
00:08:52.19\00:08:54.40
With peace on
earth, good-will to men.
00:08:54.73\00:09:04.51
Then singing,
ringing on its way,
00:09:08.34\00:09:11.31
The earth
revolves from night to day;
00:09:14.48\00:09:19.95
A chant, a
chime, a voice sublime
00:09:21.22\00:09:24.96
Of peace on
earth, goodill to men.
00:09:27.73\00:09:34.00
But those bells kept ringing!
00:09:34.67\00:09:37.21
[Peace on earth]
00:09:37.74\00:09:40.51
Like a choir, they're singing:
00:09:40.91\00:09:43.58
[Peace on earth]
00:09:43.88\00:09:46.85
Does anybody hear them?
00:09:47.28\00:09:50.02
Peace on earth, goodill to men!
00:09:51.22\00:10:01.96
Then rang the bells so loud
and clear: "Peace on earth."
00:10:03.87\00:10:14.08
In my heart, I hear them:
00:10:14.54\00:10:16.51
[Peace on earth]
00:10:16.78\00:10:18.91
"Peace on
earth, goodill to men!"
00:10:19.31\00:10:28.76
Peace on earth.
00:10:29.96\00:10:35.00
Peace on earth.
00:10:36.46\00:10:41.90
Peace on earth, goodill to men!
00:10:42.87\00:10:54.35
KEN WIEBE: Hi, my name is Ken
Wiebe, president of the
Seventh-day Adventist Church in
00:11:01.46\00:11:05.66
Alberta. On behalf of the 11,000
Seventh-day Adventist members in
Alberta, I want to wish you a
00:11:05.76\00:11:11.47
merry Christmas
and a happy new year.
00:11:11.57\00:11:14.47
CHRIS: Who is Jesus to me? Who
is Jesus to you? All that
happens in this world and all
00:11:17.21\00:11:24.38
that goes on in this life today,
there is one key to making sense
of it all. One overarching
00:11:24.48\00:11:33.09
subject that will get us through
another day. It is the story of
Jesus, the story of his birth,
00:11:33.19\00:11:40.63
his life, and his death and
sacrifice for us. You see, the
story of Christmas is the story
00:11:40.73\00:11:49.44
of Jesus. But it's your story as
well. The coming of Jesus is
good news because he came to
00:11:49.54\00:11:57.75
save us. That is why Christmas,
Christmastime is so wonderful.
It's all about the story of
00:11:57.85\00:12:07.09
Jesus.
00:12:07.19\00:12:08.76
Tell me the story of Jesus;
00:12:12.39\00:12:19.67
Write on my heart every word.
00:12:20.04\00:12:25.77
Tell me the story most precious,
00:12:27.34\00:12:33.65
Sweetest that ever was heard.
Tell how the angels in chorus
00:12:34.28\00:12:48.23
Sang as they welcomed His birth:
00:12:48.63\00:12:55.20
"Glory to God in the highest!
00:12:56.04\00:13:02.81
Peace and good
tidings to earth."
00:13:03.24\00:13:10.39
Tell me the story of Jesus;
00:13:11.12\00:13:17.76
Write on my heart every word.
00:13:18.29\00:13:24.50
Tell me the story most precious,
00:13:25.10\00:13:31.77
Sweetest that ever was heard.
00:13:33.04\00:13:39.71
Tell of the cross
where they nailed Him,
00:13:40.25\00:13:46.69
Writhing in anguish and in pain.
00:13:47.16\00:13:52.99
Tell of the grave
where they laid Him;
00:13:53.29\00:14:02.37
Tell how He liveth again.
00:14:03.34\00:14:08.01
Love in that story so tender,
00:14:08.68\00:14:15.95
Clearer than ever I see;
00:14:17.05\00:14:22.19
Stay, let me weep
while you whisper,
00:14:23.09\00:14:30.23
"Love paid the ransom for me."
00:14:30.63\00:14:37.01
Tell me the story of Jesus;
00:14:38.41\00:14:44.65
Write on my heart every word.
00:14:45.15\00:14:51.52
Tell me the story most precious,
00:14:52.45\00:14:59.33
Sweetest that ever was heard.
00:14:59.76\00:15:06.43
Sweetest that ever was heard.
00:15:07.24\00:15:14.11
Sweetest that ever was heard.
00:15:14.98\00:15:28.92
Sweetest story.
00:15:31.46\00:15:40.17
MR. CULMORE: Hi, my name is
Wayne Culmore, president of the
British Columbia conference of
00:15:47.34\00:15:50.81
Seventh-day Adventists. On
behalf of our 11,000 members in
British Columbia and the Yukon
00:15:50.91\00:15:56.05
Territory, I want to wish you a
merry Christmas and a happy new
00:15:56.15\00:16:00.79
year. CHRIS: His birth led to
his death. His death was
voluntary. He laid down his life
00:16:03.99\00:16:10.97
so we could live. The amazing
statement of Romans 5:8 is this:
00:16:11.07\00:16:15.57
While we were yet sinners.
Friend, it doesn't matter where
you are in life, Jesus came to
00:16:25.11\00:16:34.52
bring to you real life and real
happiness. His desire is that
you would find peace in your
00:16:34.62\00:16:40.23
heart with him, that you would
find peace in your life, even
amidst the turmoil.
00:16:40.33\00:16:47.97
Let there be peace on earth
00:16:54.18\00:17:00.68
And let it begin with me.
00:17:01.12\00:17:08.72
Let there be peace on earth
00:17:09.12\00:17:15.00
The peace that was meant to be.
00:17:15.30\00:17:21.74
With God as our Father,
00:17:22.00\00:17:28.84
Family all are we.
00:17:29.11\00:17:36.05
Let me walk with my brother
00:17:36.35\00:17:41.99
In perfect harmony.
00:17:42.22\00:17:48.30
Let peace begin with me
00:17:50.00\00:17:54.87
Let this be the moment now.
00:17:55.17\00:18:01.84
With every step I take
00:18:02.78\00:18:08.12
Let this be my solemn vow.
00:18:08.55\00:18:14.66
To take each moment
00:18:15.09\00:18:18.36
And live each moment
00:18:18.69\00:18:21.33
With peace eternally.
00:18:21.60\00:18:28.30
Let there be peace on earth,
00:18:28.84\00:18:34.64
And let it begin with me.
00:18:35.01\00:18:47.46
Oh, to take each moment
00:18:48.02\00:18:57.73
And live each moment
00:18:58.07\00:19:01.27
In peace eternally
00:19:01.60\00:19:08.04
Let there be peace,
00:19:08.54\00:19:14.32
Let there be peace,
00:19:14.68\00:19:20.39
Let there be peace on earth
00:19:20.79\00:19:26.46
And let it begin with me.
00:19:26.80\00:19:34.04
Let peace begin with me.
00:19:34.57\00:19:54.82
CHRIS: My dear friends, amidst
the tinsel, the trees, the
gifts, the candy, and the
00:20:00.93\00:20:06.17
baking, I hope that you find
true and real peace today. The
reason for this season is Jesus
00:20:06.27\00:20:14.24
Christ and the story of him
coming to this planet to save
us. His one desire is that he
00:20:14.34\00:20:22.65
could be in a relationship with
you. What holds you back today?
Reach out. Grasp the hand of
00:20:22.75\00:20:30.93
Jesus, the one who was born in a
stable, slept in a manger, lived
a life helping others, and paid
00:20:31.03\00:20:40.77
the ultimate sacrifice, giving
his life for you. He gave
everything for you. Let's pray.
00:20:40.87\00:20:53.21
Heavenly Father, we thank you
for Jesus, we thank you that he
came to save us. Please help us
00:20:53.31\00:20:59.25
to accept that gift today.
We pray in Jesus' name, amen.
00:20:59.35\00:21:06.19
Friends, the holiday season is a
special time where we can come
together as families and eat
00:21:36.69\00:21:42.86
together. And today I'm so happy
to have both Darlene Blaney and
Bev Edwardsaines here in the
00:21:42.96\00:21:51.87
kitchen with me. And they are
going to demonstrate a couple of
recipes to keep our holidays
00:21:51.97\00:21:56.78
tasty but healthy. So ladies,
what are we demonstrating today?
DARLENE: We're going to start
00:21:56.88\00:22:02.18
with a stuffed squash. CHRIS:
Okay, that sounds kind of
interesting. So what are we
00:22:02.28\00:22:06.59
going to do to make a stuffed
squash? DARLENE: Well, first
we've got to focus on our
00:22:06.69\00:22:09.76
stuffing. So we're going to
actually begin with some fresh
breadcrumbs. And we just want to
00:22:09.86\00:22:16.43
take whatever loaf, whole grain
bread, and put it in your food
processor, and blend that all up
00:22:16.53\00:22:22.77
into a nice, fine texture, and
keep them fresh. You don't want
to toast these at all.
00:22:22.87\00:22:27.58
CHRIS: All right, now, Bev, this
is a whole grain bread. What
kind of bread is this actually
00:22:27.68\00:22:32.11
that we're using today? BEV: I
think this is the Silver Hills
bread that we're using, and you
00:22:32.21\00:22:35.55
know, that's one of the
lifestyle centres that we have
in British Columbia.
00:22:35.65\00:22:39.89
CHRIS: Okay, and the Silver
Hills bread is all whole grain
bread, and one of the beauties
00:22:39.99\00:22:44.56
of the Silver Hills bread is,
when you read the ingredients,
it only takes you a couple of
00:22:44.66\00:22:48.36
seconds 'cause there are very
few of them. BEV: That's right.
CHRIS: So what else are we
00:22:48.46\00:22:51.80
putting in the stuffing there,
Darlene? DARLENE: Okay, we're
going to add some grains. We're
00:22:51.90\00:22:56.47
going to add a couple of cups'
worth of your choice of grains.
This can be kamut, it can be
00:22:56.57\00:23:00.28
rice, it can be whatever grain
you like. So we're going to use
some wild rice. And we're also
00:23:00.38\00:23:05.68
going to use some brown rice
today. CHRIS: All right, now,
what are some of the advantages,
00:23:05.78\00:23:09.22
Darlene, of wild rice? What is
wild rice going to do for you?
DARLENE: Well, basically, any of
00:23:09.32\00:23:14.49
our grains in general are going
to be high in fibre. That's
probably the biggest key when it
00:23:14.59\00:23:19.49
comes to whole grains. B
vitamins. Chromium. Chromium
balances blood sugars. So not
00:23:19.59\00:23:25.03
only does fibre balance, but
also, the chromium and the B
vitamins. BEV: Absolutely. What
00:23:25.13\00:23:31.64
do we have next? DARLENE:
Excellent. Now, we want to add
some colour to this so
00:23:31.74\00:23:35.14
we're going to actually put in
some onion and some celery as
well as some shredded carrot.
00:23:35.24\00:23:40.38
CHRIS: Okay. I like onions and
celery. BEV: Good combination.
Of course, the celery has
00:23:40.48\00:23:47.02
wonderful sodium in there,
natural sodium, and the carrots,
vitamin A and that shot of nice
00:23:47.12\00:23:53.53
colour there. DARLENE: That's
correct. BEV: Perfect. DARLENE:
Now, lots of different
00:23:53.63\00:23:56.87
textures going on here. Added to
it, we're going to add some dry
roasted almonds, slivered
00:23:56.97\00:24:03.17
almonds. So you want to dry
roast these just at a low
temperature on your own in your
00:24:03.27\00:24:07.54
oven at home. And then we're
going to add our seasonings.
Now, you can add a little bit of
00:24:07.64\00:24:11.81
sea salt. We can sprinkle that
kind of evenly over it there.
And poultry seasoning. Now,
00:24:11.91\00:24:18.02
poultry seasoning does not have
any poultry in it; it's just
well-known for stuffing poultry
00:24:18.12\00:24:22.92
or stuffing mixes. CHRIS: So I
know it's going to have some of
that sage in there and different
00:24:23.02\00:24:29.13
things like that that's going to
give it that real kind of
stuffing flavour. DARLENE: Very
00:24:29.23\00:24:33.10
much so. And in fact, you can
use sage if you prefer; just use
half the amount. And colour,
00:24:33.20\00:24:37.47
beautiful, dried cranberries.
You can add fresh, you can use
frozen, whatever you like.
00:24:37.57\00:24:43.55
CHRIS: Now, ladies, what's the
advantage of eating some
cranberries? BEV: Well, first of
00:24:43.65\00:24:48.32
all, it's nice and sweet. CHRIS:
Okay, I like that. I always like
00:24:48.42\00:24:52.29
sweet. DARLENE: Yeah. And again,
high fibre. CHRIS: Very good.
And then are we going to add
00:24:52.39\00:24:58.93
anything else now? DARLENE: We
are. We're going to add some
water and a little bit of our
00:24:59.03\00:25:02.90
olive oil as well, about a third
of a cup of olive oil, so we can
just go ahead and put it on.
00:25:03.00\00:25:07.07
BEV: All righty. DARLENE: Sure,
all over, and then a little bit
of our olive oil as well, and we
00:25:07.17\00:25:11.71
just want to mix this up and
then put it into a casserole
dish, if you don't have one
00:25:11.81\00:25:16.21
already that you're mixing it
in, and cover it and just bake
it in the oven until it's nice
00:25:16.31\00:25:21.45
and soft. You're mainly going by
the vegetables being nice and
tender. CHRIS: Now, if someone
00:25:21.55\00:25:27.22
wanted to make this a little
lower fat, they didn't want to
put the olive oil in, can they
00:25:27.32\00:25:30.59
get away with doing that?
DARLENE: They can, they can. You
can just do a little bit more
00:25:30.69\00:25:33.56
water, yeah. The oil just kind
of gives it a little bit
different flavour, but also
00:25:33.66\00:25:38.67
allows it to brown a little bit.
CHRIS: All right. Now, so we put
this in the oven? DARLENE: We
00:25:38.77\00:25:43.37
do, bake it until soft. CHRIS:
And then through the magic of
television, we actually
00:25:43.47\00:25:46.81
have a finished stuffing here.
And what are we going to do with
that stuffing after we've baked
00:25:46.91\00:25:54.12
it in the oven, and how long are
we going to bake it in the oven
for? DARLENE: It could take
00:25:54.22\00:25:57.49
about 20 minutes, 10 minutes,
give it a stir, another 10
minutes. Just watch that it
00:25:57.59\00:26:01.46
doesn't get too brown. So the
vegetables, you just want a
little crispness. CHRIS: Now,
00:26:01.56\00:26:06.03
ladies, I see that we do have a
squash that we're about to
stuff. What kind of squash do we
00:26:06.13\00:26:09.16
have there, Bev? BEV: Is this a
spaghetti squash? DARLENE: It
is. BEV: It certainly is. You
00:26:09.26\00:26:13.80
know, we've been farming this
past year and we've got all
kinds of squash. I know my
00:26:13.90\00:26:17.27
squash now, I tell ya. DARLENE:
Spaghetti is a very mild flavour
00:26:17.37\00:26:22.98
as well. But you can use any
kind of squash that you like.
And we're just going to put in
00:26:23.08\00:26:28.38
our stuffing. CHRIS: Okay, so
you could use your butternut,
your buttercup squash. DARLENE:
00:26:28.48\00:26:30.85
Absolutely. CHRIS: You could
even use a pumpkin if you wanted
to, I would imagine?
00:26:30.95\00:26:33.15
DARLENE: Absolutely, yes, yes.
If you want that brighter orange
colour, more vitamin A.
00:26:33.25\00:26:36.22
Interesting, this type of
squash, not as much vitamin A,
but has omega 3s in it, which is
00:26:36.32\00:26:42.50
unique to this squash. CHRIS:
Now, you know, Bev, while
Darlene is putting the stuffing
00:26:42.60\00:26:48.10
in that squash, a lot of people
say, "Oh, spaghetti squash
tastes kind of plain." What are
00:26:48.20\00:26:53.14
some things you can do with
spaghetti squash to help it,
other than stuff it, that make
00:26:53.24\00:26:57.08
it maybe not so plain? BEV:
Right, well you know, one of my
favourite ways is to just
00:26:57.18\00:27:00.48
roast it with a little bit of
olive oil and some garlic. We
use a lot of garlic in my house.
00:27:00.58\00:27:06.29
It's so good for you. And just
that easy recipe right there,
just roasted, wonderful.
00:27:06.39\00:27:13.63
CHRIS: All right, so Darlene,
we've got these stuffed. We're
going to then take them and put
00:27:13.73\00:27:17.93
them back in the oven? DARLENE:
Correct. I should mention, you
00:27:18.03\00:27:21.44
want to kind of bake your squash
'til it's pretty much done
first, okay? And then, you know,
00:27:21.54\00:27:26.51
put it here, put in your
stuffing. You can cover it if
you wish, if you need to bake it
00:27:26.61\00:27:30.85
a little bit more. If it's
pretty much baked, just warm it
now in your oven. And heap that
00:27:30.95\00:27:35.48
dressing up. Garnish it, make it
look beautiful. CHRIS: That is
wonderful. Ladies, this is
00:27:35.58\00:27:39.59
looking delicious. If you want
