Praise Him, praise
Him All ye little children
00:00:03.62\00:00:07.77
God is love, God is love
00:00:07.80\00:00:12.06
Praise Him, praise
Him All ye little children
00:00:12.09\00:00:16.45
God is love, God is love
00:00:16.48\00:00:20.79
Hello and welcome to our
Kids Time holiday special.
00:00:24.55\00:00:27.46
We are here at the Fresno
00:00:27.49\00:00:28.82
Central
Seventh-day Adventist Church
00:00:28.85\00:00:30.29
and I want to give a
warm welcome to everyone here
00:00:30.32\00:00:32.93
as well to our
television viewing audience.
00:00:32.96\00:00:35.24
I'm so glad you've joined us
00:00:35.27\00:00:36.54
because we have an exciting
00:00:36.57\00:00:38.43
holiday program
planned just for you.
00:00:38.46\00:00:41.15
As I think back 2,000
years to the city of Bethlehem
00:00:41.18\00:00:45.07
there was joy in the
hearts of the angels,
00:00:45.10\00:00:47.33
there was joy in the
hearts of the shepherds
00:00:47.36\00:00:49.46
and there was joy in the
hearts of Mary and Joseph
00:00:49.49\00:00:52.83
when baby Jesus was born.
00:00:52.86\00:00:54.82
His very name indicated that
00:00:54.85\00:00:56.79
He would save His
people from their sins.
00:00:56.82\00:00:59.77
And we can have that same joy
00:00:59.80\00:01:01.47
as we make room in our hearts
00:01:01.50\00:01:03.22
to receive Jesus as
our personal Savior.
00:01:03.25\00:01:06.19
Let's listen as Mirielle sings
00:01:06.22\00:01:07.76
and plays for us
"Joy to the world."
00:01:07.79\00:01:10.35
Joy to the world,
00:01:24.25\00:01:27.82
the Lord has come
00:01:27.85\00:01:31.67
Let earth receive her King
00:01:31.70\00:01:38.85
Let every heart prepare Him room
00:01:38.88\00:01:46.71
And heaven and nature sing
00:01:46.74\00:01:50.50
And heaven and nature sing
00:01:50.53\00:01:53.73
And heaven, and heaven
00:01:53.76\00:01:58.06
and nature sing
00:01:58.09\00:02:04.99
Joy to the
earth, the Savior reigns
00:02:10.04\00:02:17.53
Let men their songs employ
00:02:17.56\00:02:24.87
While fields and floods
00:02:24.90\00:02:28.99
Rocks, hills and plains
00:02:29.02\00:02:33.09
Repeat the sounding
joy Repeat the sounding joy
00:02:33.12\00:02:40.03
Repeat,
00:02:40.06\00:02:42.23
repeat the sounding joy
00:02:42.26\00:02:50.23
Amen.
00:03:12.06\00:03:14.35
She brought for
us her first born son
00:03:14.38\00:03:16.77
wrapped Him in swaddling clothes
00:03:16.80\00:03:18.31
and laid Him in a manger
00:03:18.34\00:03:19.89
because there was no
room for them in the end.
00:03:19.92\00:03:22.55
This was the exact
sign given to the shepherds
00:03:22.58\00:03:25.33
by the angels to
identify the Savior
00:03:25.36\00:03:27.71
that was born that
day in the City of David.
00:03:27.74\00:03:30.48
The shepherds came with haste
00:03:30.51\00:03:31.83
and they found Mary and Joseph
00:03:31.86\00:03:33.41
and the babe lying in a manger.
00:03:33.44\00:03:35.73
That always gives us the
exact amount of information
00:03:35.76\00:03:38.69
we need to find Jesus
00:03:38.72\00:03:40.76
when we search for
Him with all our hearts.
00:03:40.79\00:03:43.14
Right now Janna is
going to sing this beloved
00:03:43.17\00:03:45.40
and familiar carol
"Away In a Manger."
00:03:45.43\00:03:48.26
Away in a manger,
00:03:56.27\00:04:00.55
no crib for a bed
00:04:00.58\00:04:04.30
The little Lord Jesus
lay down His sweet head
00:04:04.33\00:04:12.30
The stars in the sky
00:04:12.33\00:04:16.35
looked down where He lay
00:04:16.38\00:04:20.36
The little Lord Jesus
00:04:20.39\00:04:24.43
asleep on the hay
00:04:24.46\00:04:30.67
Be near me, Lord Jesus,
00:04:30.70\00:04:35.09
I ask Thee to stay Close by me
00:04:35.12\00:04:40.85
for ever and love me,
00:04:40.88\00:04:44.73
I pray Bless all
the dear children
00:04:44.76\00:04:50.63
in Thy tender care
00:04:50.66\00:04:54.55
And take us to Heaven
00:04:54.58\00:04:58.62
to live with Thee there
00:04:58.65\00:05:04.03
Is there such a
thing as a perfect gift?
00:05:09.40\00:05:12.10
During the holiday season
shoppers go and search of it.
00:05:12.13\00:05:14.66
Everyone wants to give the gift
00:05:14.69\00:05:16.17
that will light up the
eyes of their beloved one.
00:05:16.20\00:05:18.81
But what many people
are searching for are things
00:05:18.84\00:05:21.21
that don't come
wrapped in fancy packages.
00:05:21.24\00:05:23.96
Well, now I'm going to
let you on some good news.
00:05:23.99\00:05:26.65
You don't have to
spend hours and hours
00:05:26.68\00:05:28.36
shopping in over crowded stores,
00:05:28.39\00:05:29.90
surfing the internet
or spend sleepless nights
00:05:29.93\00:05:32.19
worrying about how
you gonna pay for it.
00:05:32.22\00:05:34.35
There's only one gift
that delivers what it promises.
00:05:34.38\00:05:37.67
Yes, I'm talking about
what the angels sing about
00:05:37.70\00:05:40.83
so long ago the gift of our
Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
00:05:40.86\00:05:46.03
The Guthrie Family
will now play for us
00:05:46.06\00:05:47.99
a special arrangement of
that familiar French carol,
00:05:48.02\00:05:51.12
"Angels We Have Heard on High."
00:05:51.15\00:05:52.99
Amen.
00:08:17.75\00:08:19.89
Let's go back in time
00:08:19.92\00:08:20.97
to the delivery
room when Jesus was born.
00:08:21.00\00:08:23.60
How often wondered
if Mary truly understood
00:08:23.63\00:08:26.08
that the child
she had just delivered
00:08:26.11\00:08:28.04
would one day deliver her.
00:08:28.07\00:08:30.21
The sleeping babe she
loving held in her arms
00:08:30.24\00:08:33.07
with the Savior of all mankind.
00:08:33.10\00:08:35.45
Let's listen as Sofia
shares some of the thoughts
00:08:35.48\00:08:37.79
that Mary may have
pondered as she sings,
00:08:37.82\00:08:40.30
"Mary, Did You Know?"
00:08:40.33\00:08:44.04
Mary, did you know
00:08:44.07\00:08:48.55
That your Baby Boy
00:08:48.58\00:08:52.60
would one day walk on water?
00:08:52.63\00:08:57.92
Mary, did you know
00:08:57.95\00:09:01.21
That your Baby Boy
00:09:01.24\00:09:04.91
would save our
sons and daughters?
00:09:04.94\00:09:09.77
Did you know That your Baby Boy
00:09:09.80\00:09:16.21
has come to make you new?
00:09:16.24\00:09:21.59
This Child that you delivered
00:09:21.62\00:09:27.17
will soon deliver you
00:09:27.20\00:09:33.08
Mary, did you know
00:09:33.11\00:09:36.33
That your Baby Boy
00:09:36.36\00:09:39.94
will give sight to a blind man?
00:09:39.97\00:09:44.67
Mary, did you know
00:09:44.70\00:09:47.85
That your Baby Boy
00:09:47.88\00:09:51.57
will calm the
storm with His hands?
00:09:51.60\00:09:56.29
Did you know That your Baby Boy
00:09:56.32\00:10:02.92
has walked where angels trod?
00:10:02.95\00:10:07.73
When you kiss your little Baby
00:10:07.76\00:10:13.28
you kissed the face of God?
00:10:13.31\00:10:18.77
The blind will
see The deaf will hear
00:10:18.80\00:10:24.41
And the dead will live again
00:10:24.44\00:10:29.50
The lame will leap
The dumb will speak
00:10:29.53\00:10:35.15
The praises of The Lamb
00:10:35.18\00:10:43.15
Mary, did you know
00:10:46.59\00:10:51.92
That your Baby Boy
00:10:51.95\00:10:56.41
is Lord of all creation?
00:10:56.44\00:11:01.67
Did you know That your Baby Boy
00:11:01.70\00:11:08.42
would one day rule the nations?
00:11:08.45\00:11:13.02
Did you know That your Baby Boy
00:11:13.05\00:11:19.54
is heaven's perfect Lamb?
00:11:19.57\00:11:24.43
The sleeping
Child you're holding
00:11:24.46\00:11:31.69
is the Great, I Am
00:11:31.72\00:11:39.66
Zana is 12 years old
00:11:54.13\00:11:55.69
and has been singing
since she was just three.
00:11:55.72\00:11:58.58
She has such a love for Jesus
00:11:58.61\00:12:00.10
that any time I ask
her to sing on Kids Time
00:12:00.13\00:12:02.48
she is always ready and willing.
00:12:02.51\00:12:05.18
I have come to
love Zana very much
00:12:05.21\00:12:06.82
and I especially love
her commitment to Jesus.
00:12:06.85\00:12:09.59
Today, she will sing about
the miracle of Christ birth
00:12:09.62\00:12:12.67
in the "Little
Town of Bethlehem."
00:12:12.70\00:12:14.74
O little town of Bethlehem
00:12:21.97\00:12:28.31
How still we see thee lie
00:12:28.34\00:12:34.45
Above thy deep
and dreamless sleep
00:12:34.48\00:12:40.65
The silent stars go by
00:12:40.68\00:12:46.51
Yet in thy dark streets shineth
00:12:46.54\00:12:52.40
The everlasting Light
00:12:52.43\00:12:58.53
The hopes and
fears of all the years
00:12:58.56\00:13:04.71
Are met in thee tonight
00:13:04.74\00:13:11.41
O holy Child of Bethlehem
00:13:11.44\00:13:17.86
Descend to us, we pray
00:13:17.89\00:13:24.08
Cast out our sin and enter in
00:13:24.11\00:13:30.37
Be born to us today
00:13:30.40\00:13:36.86
We hear the Christmas angels
00:13:36.89\00:13:42.82
The great glad tidings tell
00:13:42.85\00:13:49.77
O come to us,
00:13:49.80\00:13:53.24
abide with us
00:13:53.27\00:13:59.03
Our Lord Emmanuel
00:13:59.06\00:14:07.03
Last year when Mirielle went
00:14:13.87\00:14:15.40
to visit family
in the Philippines
00:14:15.43\00:14:17.27
she was invited to sing
at a wide variety of places
00:14:17.30\00:14:19.78
that included her
parent's home church,
00:14:19.81\00:14:21.95
a local radio station, a
women's correctional facility
00:14:21.98\00:14:25.20
and even the men's city jail.
00:14:25.23\00:14:27.47
It doesn't matter where
she is or how often she's asked
00:14:27.50\00:14:30.80
Mirielle is always
excited to witness for Jesus.
00:14:30.83\00:14:34.13
Let's listen to the
message in this song
00:14:34.16\00:14:36.17
"Hark the Herald Angels Sing."
00:14:36.20\00:14:38.23
Hark! The herald angels sing
00:14:45.14\00:14:50.70
Glory to the newborn King
00:14:50.73\00:14:56.09
Peace on earth and mercy mild
00:14:56.12\00:15:01.62
God and sinners reconcile
00:15:01.65\00:15:07.05
Joyful all ye nations rise
00:15:07.08\00:15:12.63
Join the triumph of the skies
00:15:12.66\00:15:18.08
With the angelic host proclaim
00:15:18.11\00:15:23.44
'Christ is born in Bethlehem'
00:15:23.47\00:15:29.34
Hark! The herald angels sing
00:15:29.37\00:15:35.09
Glory to the newborn King
00:15:35.12\00:15:43.05
Christ by highest heaven adored
00:15:43.08\00:15:48.80
Christ the everlasting Lord
00:15:48.83\00:15:54.31
In the manger born a King
00:15:54.34\00:15:59.99
While adoring angels sing
00:16:00.02\00:16:05.67
Peace on earth, to men good will
00:16:05.70\00:16:11.34
Bid the trembling soul be still
00:16:11.37\00:16:16.83
Christ on earth
has come to dwell
00:16:16.86\00:16:22.41
Jesus, our Immanuel!
00:16:22.44\00:16:28.34
Hark! The herald angels sing
00:16:28.37\00:16:34.32
Glory to the newborn King
00:16:34.35\00:16:42.32
Amen.
00:16:43.54\00:16:46.42
For the last six
years Chris has enjoyed
00:16:46.45\00:16:48.54
playing the saxophone
00:16:48.57\00:16:49.85
and has chosen to play
for us the Italian carol,
00:16:49.88\00:16:53.03
Gesu Bambino
which means baby Jesus.
00:16:53.06\00:16:56.42
As many of you know it
also has the same lyrics
00:16:56.45\00:16:58.88
and melody as the choirs
of O Come All Ye Faithful.
00:16:58.91\00:17:01.95
Listen closely and see
if you can catch that melody
00:17:01.98\00:17:04.66
as Chris and his sister
Cherrie play Gesu Bambino.
00:17:04.69\00:17:08.89
Amen.
00:19:44.19\00:19:46.21
The Guthrie Family
has traveled the world
00:19:46.24\00:19:48.34
singing and playing
their musical instruments.
00:19:48.37\00:19:50.88
They have also been
part of our Kids Time family
00:19:50.91\00:19:53.08
for many years now.
00:19:53.11\00:19:54.48
In fact many of you
may remember William
00:19:54.51\00:19:57.09
who is the only one
I know of who can smile
00:19:57.12\00:19:59.89
and play the trumpet
all at the same time.
00:19:59.92\00:20:02.83
This family has
dedicated their lives to Jesus
00:20:02.86\00:20:05.33
and I'm looking forward to being
neighbors with them in heaven.
00:20:05.36\00:20:08.26
This next song has
been used both as a nativity
00:20:08.29\00:20:11.27
and Second Advent hymn.
00:20:11.30\00:20:13.00
"Come Thou long expected Jesus"
00:20:13.03\00:20:15.52
tells of Israel's
found home for a Messiah.
00:20:15.55\00:20:18.69
Listen closely
to these next words
00:20:18.72\00:20:20.96
Come, Thou long expected Jesus
00:20:20.99\00:20:23.54
Born to set Thy people free
00:20:23.57\00:20:25.97
From our fears
and sins release us
00:20:26.00\00:20:28.57
Let us find our rest in Thee
00:20:28.60\00:20:31.10
Born Thy people to deliver
Born a child and yet a king
00:20:31.13\00:20:35.70
Born to reign in us forever
00:20:35.73\00:20:37.86
Now Thy gracious kingdom bring
00:20:37.89\00:20:40.65
Amen.
00:22:55.49\00:22:58.96
Sofia found out just how
far reaching her music ministry
00:22:58.99\00:23:02.36
and 3ABN is spread.
00:23:02.39\00:23:04.18
While visiting
family in the Philippines
00:23:04.21\00:23:05.83
she attended church there.
00:23:05.86\00:23:07.52
They were so excited to see her
00:23:07.55\00:23:08.93
that she was asked to sing
for special music that very day.
00:23:08.96\00:23:12.46
Sofia always has
a song in her heart.
00:23:12.49\00:23:14.36
Now God has
used her on Kids Time
00:23:14.39\00:23:16.45
for over the last
nine years to bless others.
00:23:16.48\00:23:19.35
I'm so glad she is here
with us today with her mom Lily
00:23:19.38\00:23:22.14
and in tribute to her Savior
and ours Sofia will now sing
00:23:22.17\00:23:26.04
the very beautiful
song "O Holy Night."
00:23:26.07\00:23:29.53
O Holy night,
00:23:35.60\00:23:39.26
the stars are brightly shining
00:23:39.29\00:23:44.76
It is the night
00:23:44.79\00:23:47.31
of our dear Savior's birth
00:23:47.34\00:23:53.73
Long lay the world
00:23:56.82\00:24:01.19
in sin and error pining
00:24:01.22\00:24:06.50
Till He appeared
00:24:06.53\00:24:09.10
and the soul felt its worth
00:24:09.13\00:24:16.26
A thrill of hope
00:24:16.29\00:24:19.84
the weary world rejoices
00:24:19.87\00:24:25.00
For yonder breaks
00:24:25.03\00:24:28.67
a new and glorious morn
00:24:28.70\00:24:34.01
Fall on your knees
00:24:34.04\00:24:42.01
O hear
00:24:42.04\00:24:45.56
the angel voices
00:24:45.59\00:24:50.88
O night divine!
00:24:50.91\00:24:56.88
O night
00:24:59.03\00:25:03.26
when Christ was born
00:25:03.29\00:25:08.83
O night divine!
00:25:08.86\00:25:15.34
O night,
00:25:16.82\00:25:20.89
O night divine!
00:25:20.92\00:25:26.73
Fall on your knees
00:25:26.76\00:25:34.73
O hear
00:25:34.76\00:25:38.05
the angel voices
00:25:38.08\00:25:43.43
O night divine!
00:25:43.46\00:25:51.43
O night
00:25:51.46\00:25:55.67
when Christ was born
00:25:55.70\00:26:01.18
O night divine!
00:26:01.21\00:26:07.53
O night,
00:26:09.43\00:26:13.12
O night divine!
00:26:13.15\00:26:21.12
Amen.
00:26:23.40\00:26:26.69
The word noel comes
from an old English word
00:26:26.72\00:26:29.21
related to Christ birth.
00:26:29.24\00:26:30.91
I like this next song
because it tells me that
00:26:30.94\00:26:33.06
God had angelic
beings sing the very first
00:26:33.09\00:26:35.71
birth announcement to everyday
people just like you and me.
00:26:35.74\00:26:39.19
Not just the kings or
sports heroes or movie stars
00:26:39.22\00:26:42.48
and He still wants to talk
to us personally every day.
00:26:42.51\00:26:46.40
Zana will now sing
for us "The First Noel."
00:26:46.43\00:26:49.59
The first Noel
00:26:58.13\00:27:02.81
the angels did say
00:27:02.84\00:27:07.04
Was to certain poor shepherds
00:27:07.07\00:27:11.32
in fields as they lay
00:27:11.35\00:27:15.66
In fields where they lay
00:27:15.69\00:27:20.60
a keeping their sheep
00:27:20.63\00:27:24.22
On a cold winter's night
00:27:24.25\00:27:28.37
that was so deep
00:27:28.40\00:27:32.72
Noel, Noel,
00:27:32.75\00:27:37.12
Noel, Noel
00:27:37.15\00:27:42.10
Born is the King
00:27:42.13\00:27:45.66
of Israel
00:27:45.69\00:27:50.71
They looked up
00:27:50.74\00:27:55.17
and saw a star
00:27:55.20\00:27:59.17
Shining in the East
00:27:59.20\00:28:03.43
beyond them far
00:28:03.46\00:28:07.87
And to the earth
00:28:07.90\00:28:11.95
it gave great light
00:28:11.98\00:28:16.19
And so it continued
00:28:16.22\00:28:20.35
both day and night
00:28:20.38\00:28:24.94
Noel, Noel,
00:28:24.97\00:28:29.29
Noel, Noel
00:28:29.32\00:28:34.48
Born is the King
00:28:34.51\00:28:38.09
of Israel
00:28:38.12\00:28:42.58
Noel, Noel,
00:28:42.61\00:28:46.85
Noel, Noel
00:28:46.88\00:28:51.98
Born is the King
00:28:52.01\00:28:55.81
of Israel
00:28:55.84\00:29:02.01
In our next song the
holy tree with its thorns
00:29:05.06\00:29:08.05
reminds us of
Jesus crown of thrones
00:29:08.08\00:29:10.54
and its red berries
remind us of Jesus blood
00:29:10.57\00:29:13.16
shed for our sins.
00:29:13.19\00:29:14.92
Let's take a moment
to sit back and picture
00:29:14.95\00:29:17.35
"The Holly and the Ivy"
00:29:17.38\00:29:18.97
as Weston plays
this lively song.
00:29:19.00\00:29:21.56
All heaven was
histories God sent His angels
00:31:00.65\00:31:03.61
to proclaim
through out the heavens
00:31:03.64\00:31:05.33
the birth of his only Son.
00:31:05.36\00:31:07.60
What an exciting time this was
00:31:07.63\00:31:09.44
and the
shepherds on the hill side
00:31:09.47\00:31:11.00
rejoiced in the good news
00:31:11.03\00:31:12.85
telling everyone
to pray for peace
00:31:12.88\00:31:15.18
for all people everywhere
and of the Christ child
00:31:15.21\00:31:18.04
that would bring
goodness and light.
00:31:18.07\00:31:20.49
Let's listen as Chris
plays "Do You Hear What I Hear."
00:31:20.52\00:31:23.83
Amen.
00:32:50.43\00:32:52.13
During the holiday season
00:32:52.16\00:32:53.48
when people's hearts are
turned toward one another
00:32:53.51\00:32:56.20
we have the
opportunity to unity all people
00:32:56.23\00:32:58.55
in heart and mind by
ending all our envy and strive.
00:32:58.58\00:33:02.43
That's the day I'm looking
forward to, how about you?
00:33:02.46\00:33:05.21
Let's just sit back and enjoy
00:33:05.24\00:33:06.61
the special
harmonies at the Sanders Family
00:33:06.64\00:33:09.17
as they sing "O
come, O come, Emmanuel."
00:33:09.20\00:33:13.12
O come, O come, Emmanuel
00:33:24.78\00:33:31.22
And ransom captive Israel
00:33:31.25\00:33:37.81
That mourns in lonely exile here
00:33:37.84\00:33:44.48
Until the Son of God appear
00:33:44.51\00:33:50.45
Rejoice!
00:33:50.48\00:33:53.56
Rejoice!
00:33:53.59\00:33:57.12
Emmanuel
00:33:57.15\00:34:02.89
Shall come to thee, O Israel.
00:34:02.92\00:34:09.62
O come, Desire of nations, bind
00:34:09.65\00:34:15.79
All people in one
heart, soul, and mind
00:34:15.82\00:34:22.04
Bid envy, strife
and quarrels cease
00:34:22.07\00:34:28.51
And fill the whole
world with heaven's peace.
00:34:28.54\00:34:34.46
Rejoice!
00:34:34.49\00:34:37.36
Rejoice!
00:34:37.39\00:34:40.81
Emmanuel
00:34:40.84\00:34:46.53
Shall come to thee, O Israel
00:34:46.56\00:34:52.52
Rejoice!
00:34:52.55\00:34:55.53
Rejoice!
00:34:55.56\00:34:58.95
Emmanuel
00:34:58.98\00:35:04.76
Shall come to thee, O Israel
00:35:04.79\00:35:10.95
Shall come to thee, O Israel
00:35:10.98\00:35:17.33
Shall come to thee, O Israel
00:35:17.36\00:35:25.33
Amen.
00:35:27.58\00:35:29.93
Jesus spent His
entire life here on earth
00:35:29.96\00:35:32.35
tenderly caring for others.
00:35:32.38\00:35:34.08
But instead of being
praised He endured much pain,
00:35:34.11\00:35:37.36
ridicule, and rejection
yet Jesus loves each one of us
00:35:37.39\00:35:41.40
so much that He
willingly died on a cross
00:35:41.43\00:35:44.23
so that we might
have eternal life.
00:35:44.26\00:35:46.96
Can you imagine how
dark world would have be
00:35:46.99\00:35:49.45
if we didn't
have that blessed hope
00:35:49.48\00:35:51.73
that Jesus is coming again.
00:35:51.76\00:35:54.66
"Bring a Torch,
Jeanette, Isabella"
00:35:54.69\00:35:56.51
is a French carol
dating back to the 1500s
00:35:56.54\00:35:59.44
when torches were used
to illuminate the darkness.
00:35:59.47\00:36:03.35
We can only
imagine that long ago
00:36:03.38\00:36:05.59
in that lowly stable
00:36:05.62\00:36:07.13
Joseph may have
used such a torch
00:36:07.16\00:36:09.52
just to give light to the
light of the world Jesus Christ.
00:36:09.55\00:36:13.99
The Guthrie
Family is also excited
00:36:14.02\00:36:15.72
to proclaim the birth of Jesus
00:36:15.75\00:36:17.27
as they play this beautiful song
00:36:17.30\00:36:19.67
"Bring a Torch,
Jeanette, Isabella."
00:36:19.70\00:36:22.18
Amen.
00:38:52.14\00:38:53.17
I like to imagine
what it must have been like
00:38:53.20\00:38:55.40
for the shepherds who
came to greet baby Jesus
00:38:55.43\00:38:57.89
in that lowly
stable so long ago.
00:38:57.92\00:39:00.52
By faith they had
journeyed Bethlehem
00:39:00.55\00:39:02.67
to be among the
first to worship the king.
00:39:02.70\00:39:05.83
Oh, what an incredible
experience that must have been.
00:39:05.86\00:39:09.15
This beautiful song invites
all of us to come into Him
00:39:09.18\00:39:12.49
as Mirielle sings "O
Come All Ye Faithful."
00:39:12.52\00:39:15.93
O Come All Ye Faithful
00:39:26.52\00:39:32.61
Joyful and triumphant
00:39:32.64\00:39:37.49
O come ye,
00:39:37.52\00:39:40.41
O come ye
00:39:40.44\00:39:42.63
to Bethlehem
00:39:42.66\00:39:48.45
Come and behold Him
00:39:48.48\00:39:53.40
Born the King of Angels
00:39:53.43\00:39:59.85
O come, let us adore Him
00:39:59.88\00:40:05.09
O come, let us adore Him
00:40:05.12\00:40:10.51
O come,
00:40:10.54\00:40:11.92
let us adore Him
00:40:11.95\00:40:17.42
Christ
00:40:20.35\00:40:23.48
the Lord Sing,
00:40:23.51\00:40:28.37
choirs of angels
00:40:28.40\00:40:32.14
Sing in exultation
00:40:32.17\00:40:37.16
O sing all ye citizens
00:40:37.19\00:40:42.56
of heaven above
00:40:42.59\00:40:48.27
Glory to God Lord,
00:40:48.30\00:40:53.76
glory in the highest
00:40:53.79\00:41:00.42
O come, let us adore Him
00:41:00.45\00:41:05.86
O come, let us adore Him
00:41:05.89\00:41:11.26
O come, let us adore Him
00:41:11.29\00:41:17.56
Christ the Lord
00:41:21.42\00:41:29.31
Amen.
00:41:29.34\00:41:32.85
A new day had dawn
and God came to earth
00:41:32.88\00:41:35.30
as a fragile new born baby.
00:41:35.33\00:41:37.69
As His mother held Him
closely how could she have known
00:41:37.72\00:41:40.63
that all too soon
mankind would hate Him
00:41:40.66\00:41:43.46
and crucify Him on a cross?
00:41:43.49\00:41:45.72
Let's listen to Weston's
arrangement of one small child
00:41:45.75\00:41:49.52
who would one day become
the Savior of all mankind.
00:41:49.55\00:41:53.32
Merchants and innkeepers
were exacting high prices
00:43:56.75\00:43:59.63
for goods and rooms.
00:43:59.66\00:44:00.99
People from all over had come
to Bethlehem to pay their taxes.
00:44:01.02\00:44:04.91
No ease and confusion,
00:44:04.94\00:44:06.31
tired travelers and
crying babies filled the night.
00:44:06.34\00:44:09.40
But even as the
cattle were lowing
00:44:09.43\00:44:11.55
there was one quiet
place of perfect peace.
00:44:11.58\00:44:14.99
Let's listen as Zana and Zeayon
00:44:15.02\00:44:16.74
sing my very favorite
Christmas carol "Silent Night."
00:44:16.77\00:44:20.50
Silent night,
00:44:31.66\00:44:36.52
Holy night
00:44:36.55\00:44:40.27
All is calm, all is bright
00:44:40.30\00:44:47.68
Round yon virgin,
00:44:47.71\00:44:51.68
mother and child
00:44:51.71\00:44:55.05
Holy infant
00:44:55.08\00:44:58.32
so, tender and mild
00:44:58.35\00:45:02.75
Sleep in heavenly peace
00:45:02.78\00:45:10.65
Sleep
00:45:10.68\00:45:12.51
in heavenly peace
00:45:12.54\00:45:18.60
Silent night, holy night
00:45:18.63\00:45:26.09
Wondrous star, lend thy light
00:45:26.12\00:45:33.74
With the angels let us sing
00:45:33.77\00:45:41.36
Alleluia to our King
00:45:41.39\00:45:49.31
Christ the Savior is born
00:45:49.34\00:45:57.28
Christ the Savior is born
00:45:57.31\00:46:03.28
Christ the Savior is born
00:46:06.53\00:46:13.96
Amen.
00:46:21.11\00:46:22.51
The sky exploded
with the holy light
00:46:22.54\00:46:24.70
as the angels sing
of Jesus humble birth.
00:46:24.73\00:46:27.80
What a perfect
gift God has given us.
00:46:27.83\00:46:30.30
It was the birthday of a king.
00:46:30.33\00:46:32.80
I've known Sofia
for many years now
00:46:32.83\00:46:34.64
and I know Jesus is her king.
00:46:34.67\00:46:37.02
I asked you today is He yours?
00:46:37.05\00:46:39.50
In the little
village of Bethlehem
00:46:47.21\00:46:54.23
There lay a child one day
00:46:54.26\00:47:01.04
And the sky was
bright With a holy light
00:47:01.07\00:47:07.85
O'er the place where Jesus lay
00:47:07.88\00:47:14.72
Alleluia!
00:47:14.75\00:47:17.88
O how the angels sang Alleluia!
00:47:17.91\00:47:24.87
How it rang!
00:47:24.90\00:47:28.29
And the sky was bright
00:47:28.32\00:47:31.70
with a holy light
00:47:31.73\00:47:37.23
'Twas the birthday of a King
00:47:37.26\00:47:44.05
'Twas a humble birthplace,
00:47:44.08\00:47:48.00
but O how much God gave
00:47:48.03\00:47:53.44
to us that day
00:47:53.47\00:47:57.77
From the manger
bed what a path has led
00:47:57.80\00:48:04.52
What a perfect, holy way
00:48:04.55\00:48:11.26
Alleluia!
00:48:11.29\00:48:14.27
O how the angels sang Alleluia!
00:48:14.30\00:48:21.28
How it rang!
00:48:21.31\00:48:24.77
And the sky was bright
00:48:24.80\00:48:28.15
with a holy light
00:48:28.18\00:48:33.82
'Twas the birthday of a King
00:48:33.85\00:48:39.82
'Twas the birthday of a King

Chris's favorite
Bible text is 1 John 4:16,
00:48:58.15\00:49:02.04
and "We have come to know
and have believed the love
00:49:02.07\00:49:05.16
which God has for us.
00:49:05.19\00:49:06.76
God is love, and the
one who abides in love
00:49:06.79\00:49:09.93
abides in God, and
God abides in him."
00:49:09.96\00:49:13.42
It took a lot of love
for God to give His own Son
00:49:13.45\00:49:16.32
and it took a lot of love
for Mary to carry a child,
00:49:16.35\00:49:19.92
raise Him and then see
Him die for her sins and ours.
00:49:19.95\00:49:24.48
I'm so thankful for
God of love, aren't you?
00:49:24.51\00:49:27.07
Let's listen to
Chris's arrangement
00:49:27.10\00:49:28.79
of "Mary, Did You Know?"
00:49:28.82\00:49:31.01
When the wise man
saw the special star
00:51:51.69\00:51:54.30
they followed by night
to keep the star in view
00:51:54.33\00:51:56.71
until they have found
Jesus and worshiped Him.
00:51:56.74\00:51:59.70
Even though the wise men
00:51:59.73\00:52:00.80
were not actually
present at Jesus birth
00:52:00.83\00:52:03.40
we learn from this familiar song
00:52:03.43\00:52:05.33
that just like the
wise men of long ago
00:52:05.36\00:52:07.91
we can worship Jesus too.
00:52:07.94\00:52:10.11
Let's worship together
with the Sanders Family
00:52:10.14\00:52:12.24
as they sing "We Three Kings."
00:52:12.27\00:52:14.90
We three kings of Orient are
00:52:20.19\00:52:23.72
Bearing gifts we traverse afar
00:52:23.75\00:52:27.06
Field and
fountain, moor and mountain
00:52:27.09\00:52:30.40
Following yonder star
00:52:30.43\00:52:33.29
O star of wonder, star of night
00:52:33.32\00:52:39.54
Star with royal beauty bright
00:52:39.57\00:52:43.06
Westward leading,
00:52:43.09\00:52:44.73
still proceeding Guide us to
00:52:44.76\00:52:48.00
thy perfect Light
00:52:48.03\00:52:51.02
Born a king on Bethlehem's plain
00:52:58.73\00:53:02.41
Gold I bring to crown Him again
00:53:02.44\00:53:05.73
King forever, ceasing
never Over us all to reign
00:53:05.76\00:53:11.87
O star of wonder, star of night
00:53:11.90\00:53:18.07
Star with royal beauty bright
00:53:18.10\00:53:21.59
Westward
leading, still proceeding
00:53:21.62\00:53:24.97
Guide us to thy perfect Light
00:53:25.00\00:53:31.54
Glorious now behold Him arise
00:53:38.65\00:53:42.14
King and God and Sacrifice
00:53:42.17\00:53:45.53
Alleluia, alleluia!
00:53:45.56\00:53:48.98
Sounds through
the earth and skies
00:53:49.01\00:53:51.87
O star of wonder, star of night
00:53:51.90\00:53:58.60
Star with royal beauty bright
00:53:58.63\00:54:02.18
Westward
leading, still proceeding
00:54:02.21\00:54:05.63
Guide us to thy perfect Light
00:54:05.66\00:54:11.82
On December 24, 1906 a
Canadian inventor broadcast
00:54:15.70\00:54:20.36
the very first AM radio program
00:54:20.39\00:54:22.60
which included him playing,
"O Holy Night" on the violin.
00:54:22.63\00:54:26.60
This French carol appears
to be the very first piece
00:54:26.63\00:54:29.15
of music
broadcast over the radio.
00:54:29.18\00:54:31.62
Today Mirielle and Millicent
will be singing and playing
00:54:31.65\00:54:35.35
"O Holy Night"
00:54:35.38\00:54:36.63
and it too will be
broadcast all over the world
00:54:36.66\00:54:38.99
but this time
via 3ABN satellite.
00:54:39.02\00:54:42.09
O Holy night,
00:54:52.33\00:54:56.09
the stars are brightly shining
00:54:56.12\00:55:02.22
It is the night of
our dear Savior's birth
00:55:02.25\00:55:10.22
Long lay the world
00:55:15.69\00:55:20.14
in sin and error pining
00:55:20.17\00:55:25.94
Till He appeared
00:55:25.97\00:55:29.14
and the soul felt its worth
00:55:29.17\00:55:36.78
A thrill of hope
00:55:36.81\00:55:40.71
the weary world rejoices
00:55:40.74\00:55:46.26
For yonder breaks
00:55:46.29\00:55:50.15
a new and glorious morn
00:55:50.18\00:55:56.02
Fall
00:55:56.05\00:55:59.65
on your knees
00:55:59.68\00:56:04.15
O hear
00:56:04.18\00:56:08.18
the angel voices
00:56:08.21\00:56:14.06
O night divine!
00:56:14.09\00:56:22.06
O night
00:56:22.69\00:56:27.16
when Christ was born
00:56:27.19\00:56:32.28
O night divine!
00:56:32.31\00:56:39.58
O night,
00:56:42.32\00:56:47.39
O night divine!
00:56:47.42\00:56:53.79
Amen.
00:56:58.80\00:57:02.44
When a new baby is expected
00:57:02.47\00:57:04.04
there are so many
exciting things happening.
00:57:04.07\00:57:06.52
Baby showers and
decorating the nursery
00:57:06.55\00:57:08.86
and picking up baby
names and so much more.
00:57:08.89\00:57:11.90
But now of this was happening
when our Savior was born.
00:57:11.93\00:57:15.16
In fact it seemed
that no one was ready
00:57:15.19\00:57:16.97
for the Messiah to come at all.
00:57:17.00\00:57:18.83
Sofia is going to
sing about that day,
00:57:18.86\00:57:21.28
that very extraordinary
day "When a child is born."
00:57:21.31\00:57:25.44
A ray of hope
00:57:27.46\00:57:30.70
flitters in the sky
00:57:30.73\00:57:35.63
A shiny star
00:57:35.66\00:57:39.11
lights up way up high
00:57:39.14\00:57:44.25
All across the land
dawns a brand new morn
00:57:44.28\00:57:51.03
This comes to pass
00:57:51.06\00:57:54.60
when a child is born
00:57:54.63\00:57:59.42
A rosy hue
00:57:59.45\00:58:03.25
settles all around
00:58:03.28\00:58:07.82
You've got the feel
00:58:07.85\00:58:11.42
you're on solid ground
00:58:11.45\00:58:16.89
For a thought or
two no-one seems forlorn
00:58:16.92\00:58:23.77
This comes to pass
00:58:23.80\00:58:27.23
when a child is born.
00:58:27.26\00:58:31.89
It's all a dream
00:58:31.92\00:58:35.50
and illusion now
00:58:35.53\00:58:39.71
It must come true,
00:58:39.74\00:58:43.07
sometimes soon somehow
00:58:43.10\00:58:48.36
All across the land
dawns a brand new morn
00:58:48.39\00:58:55.16
This comes to pass
when a child is born
00:58:55.19\00:59:02.51
This comes to pass
when a child is born
00:59:02.54\00:59:10.51
I want to thank each
of you for joining us
00:59:16.29\00:59:18.17
and I would
like to encourage you
00:59:18.20\00:59:19.32
to make Jesus the
center of your life.
00:59:19.35\00:59:21.72
Not just during
the holiday season
00:59:21.75\00:59:23.96
but each day
throughout the year.
00:59:23.99\00:59:26.43
God bless you. Happy holidays.
00:59:26.46\00:59:28.71
