1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,520
What names they want to give to 
their children because they're 

2
00:00:02,520 --> 00:00:03,720
important. 
They're going to have them their

3
00:00:03,720 --> 00:00:05,960
whole life. 
So if you're at school, you're 

4
00:00:05,960 --> 00:00:10,240
going to hear your name called 
every single morning, every 

5
00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:12,760
single afternoon for the 
register. 

6
00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:16,320
You'll need it when you're at 
the doctor's anyone like, Oh no,

7
00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:19,640
they're going to use my actual 
name when they call it out the 

8
00:00:19,640 --> 00:00:23,080
doctor's that's me or it just 
makes me sound really posh. 

9
00:00:23,080 --> 00:00:26,160
When they call out my full name,
I'm like, or I feel like I'm in 

10
00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:27,720
trouble. 
One of those two. 

11
00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:32,640
My real full name. 
My real name is Philippa. 

12
00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:36,920
Well, it is quite posh when your
grandmother says it's you. 

13
00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:39,680
Yeah, but there we go anyway. 
Yeah. 

14
00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:41,560
Anyway, that was not in my notes
at all. 

15
00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:43,520
OK. 
You have to use your names to 

16
00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:46,080
fill out forms, all sorts of 
official things. 

17
00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:50,880
Your parents probably gave you a
name because either they like 

18
00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:55,160
it, maybe it's a family name, 
maybe it's something that they 

19
00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:58,640
chose because it means something
to them. 

20
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:01,920
It means something that they 
want of you. 

21
00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:05,400
They want this thing for you. 
It's almost like a spoken 

22
00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:09,320
promise over you. 
When someone calls out our name,

23
00:01:09,320 --> 00:01:12,080
it gets our attention. 
You know, if we're saying 

24
00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:15,560
something about someone else, we
mention their name. 

25
00:01:15,960 --> 00:01:18,360
So I might say, oh, yeah. 
Do you know Nicky? 

26
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:20,200
Do you know what she loves? 
Christmas. 

27
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:22,640
She would celebrate Christmas 
every day of the year if she 

28
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:24,360
could. 
That's something I know about 

29
00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:26,480
Nicky. 
And names are a way of 

30
00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:29,560
identifying us. 
I'm Pip. 

31
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:33,920
I'm not Libby. 
I'm not Essie. 

32
00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:36,600
I'm not any of you other lovely 
people. 

33
00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:39,560
I'm me. 
And if you know me, you'll say 

34
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:42,520
you'll think, oh, yes, Pip. 
She's like this. 

35
00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:44,880
Oh yeah, I know who you're 
talking about. 

36
00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:48,800
I know who that person is. 
So what do we think of when we 

37
00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:53,280
think of the name Jesus? 
So to start off, start us off, 

38
00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:56,840
we're just going to think about 
some of the names and faces of 

39
00:01:56,840 --> 00:01:59,400
the people that were around that
first Christmas. 

40
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:03,600
And I'm not going to need a 
little bit of help to play this 

41
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:06,560
game. 
So anyone played Pictionary at 

42
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:09,720
Christmas? 
OK, so we've got a board up 

43
00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:12,440
here. 
Got a couple of pens. 

44
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:13,720
This is where I've not checked 
the pens. 

45
00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:16,400
I'm really hoping that they 
work, but, you know, we'll put 

46
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:20,080
them out there and see. 
So I need a volunteer, first of 

47
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:22,640
all, to come and draw. 
What? 

48
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:28,360
The thing, the person, no 
letters are allowed, no cheating

49
00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:31,480
is that you're not allowed to 
just go through all the people 

50
00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:34,160
in the actual Christmas story 
and just call them out. 

51
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:36,280
You've got to wait for the 
drawing. 

52
00:02:36,640 --> 00:02:38,840
OK, The drawing's going to 
happen. 

53
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:43,080
Be something to do with that 
first Christmas, Chris. 

54
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:44,600
So you a volunteer. 
Excellent. 

55
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:49,360
Big hand for Chris, please. 
So, Chris. 

56
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:51,600
Oh, I'm going to have to turn my
mic off, won't I? 

57
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:52,920
I'll move this away. 
OK. 

58
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:54,520
This is what I'd like you to 
draw. 

59
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:01,200
OK. 
It doesn't matter how big you do

60
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:02,840
it, but obviously people have 
got to see it. 

61
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:05,680
Yeah. 
And then when Chris is drawn, 

62
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:08,040
he'll he'll wiggle it around a 
little bit so everyone can see. 

63
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:12,240
OK, OK. 
But if you've got any ideas. 

64
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:14,400
Oh, we're going for a different 
pen already. 

65
00:03:17,640 --> 00:03:24,000
Any thoughts so far? 
Anybody call it out? 

66
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:28,000
Call it out, Shepherd. 
Excellent. 

67
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:30,040
He didn't even have to finish 
the drawing. 

68
00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:32,840
Was this the biggest clue? 
Yeah. 

69
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:34,040
Excellent. 
OK. 

70
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:38,320
Thank you, Chris. 
OK, another volunteer, please. 

71
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:41,280
Sam, up you come. 
Big round of applause for Sam. 

72
00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:55,320
Are you ready, Sam? 
Here we go. 

73
00:04:02,990 --> 00:04:05,310
Lots of concentration going on 
with this drawing. 

74
00:04:07,670 --> 00:04:09,510
This is where we need one of 
those big screens where you can 

75
00:04:09,510 --> 00:04:12,150
draw on the iPad and it appears 
on the screen, don't we? 

76
00:04:12,630 --> 00:04:16,310
Oh, OK, in a minute. 
I'm going to ask Sam to move out

77
00:04:16,310 --> 00:04:17,790
the way when he's finished so 
everyone can see. 

78
00:04:17,790 --> 00:04:27,540
Good job, Sam. 
OK, here we go, Donkey. 

79
00:04:27,540 --> 00:04:30,620
Yes. 
Nicely done. 

80
00:04:30,700 --> 00:04:33,700
OK. 
Another volunteer, please. 

81
00:04:35,100 --> 00:04:38,620
Who's next? 
Ben, Were you volunteered or did

82
00:04:38,620 --> 00:04:39,580
you What? 
Sorry. 

83
00:04:40,340 --> 00:04:41,620
Oh, Other Ben. 
Other Ben? 

84
00:04:41,620 --> 00:04:43,260
Sorry. 
You looked slightly shocked when

85
00:04:43,260 --> 00:04:45,100
I said Ben. 
Then Ben Woodward. 

86
00:04:45,100 --> 00:04:48,140
Come this way. 
Who's like, really? 

87
00:04:48,260 --> 00:04:50,220
Have I been volunteered? 
And I didn't know it. 

88
00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:55,240
Come up. 
Ben, Are you ready? 

89
00:05:01,170 --> 00:05:02,290
You can do it. 
You can do it. 

90
00:05:04,610 --> 00:05:06,530
Oh, Tia. 
I think we might need to change 

91
00:05:06,530 --> 00:05:08,250
the pen. 
Could someone just grab us 

92
00:05:08,250 --> 00:05:09,770
another pen, please? 
Hold on a minute. 

93
00:05:09,770 --> 00:05:12,250
Ben, stop for a minute. 
Let's just have a whole chunk 

94
00:05:12,250 --> 00:05:16,210
over here just in case this is a
rookie error, not testing the 

95
00:05:16,210 --> 00:05:18,650
pen beforehand. 
OK, Go for it. 

96
00:05:19,890 --> 00:05:23,010
Here we go. 
The anticipation in the room, 

97
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:31,560
it's it's definitely smiling. 
I think it might be a person. 

98
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:35,800
Oh, there's a big clue. 
Yes. 

99
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:38,560
Let's move out the way, Ben, so 
these people can see over here. 

100
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:40,800
There we go. 
Spot the clue. 

101
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:44,000
Looks like a big Jelly Bean in 
the stomach. 

102
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:45,240
There we go. 
Excellent. 

103
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:46,360
Well done, Ben. 
OK. 

104
00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:48,520
Another person, please. 
Another volunteer. 

105
00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:52,080
What's going on? 
What's going on, Aya? 

106
00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:56,280
You're all like. 
I know there's some budding 

107
00:05:56,280 --> 00:05:58,520
artists in the room. 
Come, Daisy. 

108
00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:00,440
Come, Daisy. 
Let's go for this one. 

109
00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:11,900
Big round of applause for Daisy.
Sorry. 

110
00:06:11,900 --> 00:06:13,420
Sorry. 
You can do this. 

111
00:06:17,100 --> 00:06:22,060
Oh, OK. 
OK. 

112
00:06:22,540 --> 00:06:25,060
Yeah. 
Have you got it? 

113
00:06:26,340 --> 00:06:30,000
Yes, there we go. 
Look at this. 

114
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:33,560
Like, here we go. 
That's the clue for Gabriel. 

115
00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:38,560
OK, the little A circle for a 
face and an Oval egg for a Halo,

116
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:40,080
I think. 
Brilliant. 

117
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:42,880
Excellent. 
Let's do one more. 

118
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:46,320
Oh, maybe 2. 
Nat, Come this way. 

119
00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:48,000
This way. 
Big round of applause for Nat. 

120
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:54,560
Come, Nat. 
Nicely done. 

121
00:06:54,600 --> 00:07:04,240
Walk this way. 
With an O. 

122
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:09,920
OK, this is what I didn't quite 
think. 

123
00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:10,680
You guys. 
Sorry. 

124
00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:12,720
We will turn it around for you. 
There we go. 

125
00:07:21,550 --> 00:07:25,110
Oh, yes, the innkeeper. 
There we go. 

126
00:07:25,950 --> 00:07:29,030
The room, but no room at the 
inn. 

127
00:07:29,030 --> 00:07:30,390
Nicely done. 
Right. 

128
00:07:30,390 --> 00:07:33,110
Last one. 
Last one. 

129
00:07:33,630 --> 00:07:34,870
Caleb. 
Up. 

130
00:07:34,870 --> 00:07:37,190
You calm. 
Big round of applause for Caleb.

131
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:55,140
Ready. 
Nice, Nice. 

132
00:07:55,700 --> 00:07:57,300
Hold on. 
One moment. 

133
00:07:58,700 --> 00:08:02,980
Lots of concentration going on 
here. 

134
00:08:04,460 --> 00:08:08,220
Brilliant. 
Look at all that detail. 

135
00:08:09,100 --> 00:08:12,340
Wonderful. 
Good job, Caleb. 

136
00:08:12,780 --> 00:08:14,620
You done. 
I'm going to hold it out so 

137
00:08:14,620 --> 00:08:22,880
everyone can see who's in there.
Yes, nicely done. 

138
00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:28,360
Big round of applause. 
Good job all those people in 

139
00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:31,040
that first story. 
You guys are off to a start with

140
00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:32,159
those games. 
That's brilliant. 

141
00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:34,960
We're going to watch a short 
little video now, and then I'll 

142
00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:38,720
be back with you. 
I forgot one thing which I need 

143
00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:42,559
to say at the start. 
I forgot where Mary and Joseph 

144
00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:45,800
lived before they had to move to
Bethlehem. 

145
00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:52,320
Once Upon a time in the city 
we'd nice with in a swell Hut, 

146
00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:56,880
there was a woman called Mary, 
and she was washing all the 

147
00:08:56,880 --> 00:09:02,480
clothes and all the stuff. 
And then, oh, about the Angel 

148
00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:05,360
Angel. 
April. 

149
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:11,640
Came to Mary in the backyard and
the Angel, do not be afraid. 

150
00:09:11,680 --> 00:09:14,440
I have come to give you good 
news. 

151
00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:19,640
You're going to have a baby sent
by the Holy Spirit, and he was 

152
00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:24,920
going to be the Son of God and 
he would be a very special king.

153
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:28,040
But Mary said I'm not married 
yet. 

154
00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:30,240
He would have felt scared, kind 
of. 

155
00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:33,840
But the Angel said the Holy 
Spirit is with you. 

156
00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:38,760
And then it just disappeared and
she believed and she was going 

157
00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:41,040
to get married to someone called
Joseph. 

158
00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:45,120
Then she's away to tell Joseph 
all about his life. 

159
00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:49,160
That can't be true, honey. 
And 20 went to sleep and Joe 

160
00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:53,440
Gabriel went to Joseph and he 
was telling him all about how 

161
00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:56,480
Mary has the baby be in her 
tummy. 

162
00:09:57,240 --> 00:10:01,440
He was going to marry Mary and 
have a baby. 

163
00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:08,000
And then he said sorry. 
But then Mary and Joseph went on

164
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:10,480
the donkey. 
Joseph went on foot with the 

165
00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:12,760
donkey. 
Oh, Caesar. 

166
00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:17,320
He told everyone could go back 
to their native lands because 

167
00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:21,840
they were being registered. 
And that's where Joseph's 

168
00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:25,560
because he was from the family 
of David and that's where David 

169
00:10:25,560 --> 00:10:27,840
lived. 
Many, many years ago, when they 

170
00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:32,400
managed to go to Bethlehem, they
couldn't find an inn because 

171
00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:36,440
they wanted to give birth and 
off the floor somewhere else. 

172
00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:41,040
They went to all the innkeepers 
but said no room left But the 

173
00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:43,960
last one they went to. 
They said they had a free 

174
00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:47,200
stable. 
So they ended up sleeping in the

175
00:10:47,560 --> 00:10:50,200
stables with all the cows and 
the sheep. 

176
00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:56,760
They had to give birth to Jesus 
in a barn in a sack of hay, and 

177
00:10:56,760 --> 00:11:01,800
he was in a Manger where animals
usually eat out of. 

178
00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:04,720
So they went in the stable with 
all the sheep. 

179
00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:06,480
There was a cow. 
What? 

180
00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:10,200
A mouse. 
I eat a corn, a chicken. 

181
00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:14,080
But there's a talking donkey, 
tea, a donkey. 

182
00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:22,960
It was quite crows and Mary said
to Joseph the baby's name was 

183
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:26,160
little Jesus. 
And when Jesus finally came, God

184
00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:30,440
placed a star in the sky. 
And then out in the fields 3 

185
00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:32,520
shepherds were watching their 
sheep. 

186
00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:34,680
An Angel appeared to them in the
sky. 

187
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:37,360
Shepherds that watched their 
sheep. 

188
00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:45,240
Only one sheep. 
The talk. 1 shepherd. 3 

189
00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:47,360
shepherds. 
You mean there was only three, 

190
00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:53,040
only three shepherds lying on 
the grass looking at the sky. 

191
00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:56,320
And then one of the angels came 
into the air. 

192
00:11:56,480 --> 00:12:00,240
The Angel said, do not be 
afraid, I have sent you good 

193
00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:03,760
news. 
There is a baby, the Savior of 

194
00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:08,160
the Lord, in the stable of 
Bethlehem, David's town, and 

195
00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:13,720
said that you should go follow 
the star to where King Jesus is 

196
00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:17,040
sleeping. 
And then millions of angels 

197
00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:22,080
appeared in the sky and they 
were singing glory, Glory. 

198
00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:25,400
And then the shepherds said to 
each other, let's go and see the

199
00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:27,840
Savior. 
And then off they went to 

200
00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:30,040
Bethlehem. 
They're quite amazed you. 

201
00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:32,560
He's in a stable. 
They're like, I thought it would

202
00:12:32,560 --> 00:12:35,400
be in an inn because their 
father was going to be an actual

203
00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:37,600
king. 
And then they told the story to 

204
00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:41,240
Mary and Joseph and praised all 
their way back. 

205
00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:46,600
During that time, 3 wise men saw
the star in the sky and went to 

206
00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:49,880
follow the star on their free 
money looking camels. 

207
00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:53,160
See camel, donkey. 
Which one? 

208
00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:57,520
A donkey? 
A camel and the supper had a 

209
00:12:57,520 --> 00:13:00,280
king, and the king wasn't very 
nice. 

210
00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:06,400
And then what's his name again? 
King Horrid Herod wasn't a good 

211
00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:09,440
man at all. 
Then they saw the palace and 

212
00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:11,640
they thought that that was where
he was born. 

213
00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:15,560
They went over there and gave 
him gold, frankincense and more.

214
00:13:15,560 --> 00:13:18,360
And they were like, wait a SEC, 
you're not the new king. 

215
00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:21,520
They said to him, do you know 
where this baby is born? 

216
00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:25,440
And and he didn't know so. 
So they looked in the big book, 

217
00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:28,800
they told them all about the 
little baby. 

218
00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:33,720
And Herod said, if you search 
for the baby in Davidstown, 

219
00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:38,520
Bethlehem, once you do it, come 
back and tell me and I'll go and

220
00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:42,320
praise the court Lord, too. 
But he whispered to one of his 

221
00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:47,240
servants instead, I'm gonna kill
him because he was scared Jesus 

222
00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:51,120
would take over as king so he 
wouldn't be special anymore. 

223
00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:53,440
And that was no. 
Good. 

224
00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:57,000
But he didn't tell the wise man 
he was lying. 

225
00:13:57,080 --> 00:14:02,640
And off they went so soon until 
he found him in a Manger. 

226
00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:05,920
They finally reached the little 
stables. 

227
00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:12,080
They went in and gave Jesus some
of their gifts, gold, silver and

228
00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:16,080
murr. 
They brought gold, murr and 

229
00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:20,240
banking sense. 
Then they weren't in a sleep. 

230
00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:24,720
They heard God saying don't go 
past Harrah's castle, the baby 

231
00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:27,200
will get killed. 
So they went to different 

232
00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:30,320
routes. 
King Herod, like when they 

233
00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:32,680
didn't come back, he was very 
angry. 

234
00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:35,120
He told his men letting you some
stuff. 

235
00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:41,800
He sent the bad guy to destroy 
every birthday but and then in 

236
00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:45,440
the middle of the night an Angel
said to Joseph get up and get 

237
00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:50,000
Jesus and Mary to go to a 
different land until King Herod 

238
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:53,680
and his men die. 
When King Herod died an Angel 

239
00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:56,800
appeared to them in Joseph's 
dream and said it is safe to go 

240
00:14:56,800 --> 00:15:00,160
back. 
Herod is gone and finally Mary 

241
00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:05,040
and Joseph and little baby Jesus
lived happily ever after having 

242
00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:12,120
his Mama. 
OK, Becky, Mary and Joseph too. 

243
00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:25,400
The end. 
That's some good, good drawers 

244
00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:27,160
there, didn't they? 
Isn't that excellent? 

245
00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:31,600
OK, great. 
And if any of you want to keep 

246
00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:35,040
your hands busy while you 
listen, there's some Christmas 

247
00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:37,960
crafty bits over on the table. 
Please do gather. 

248
00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:40,160
Go gather some bits. 
Doesn't just have to be for 

249
00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:42,160
little people. 
If any of you want to do that, 

250
00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:44,520
you can go get some bits. 
Please be careful as you just 

251
00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:47,960
walk, as you go along, so that 
no one trips over a thing. 

252
00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:52,200
OK, so there's often this big 
announcement when a baby is 

253
00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:54,680
born. 
After all that waiting, after 

254
00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:59,960
all that preparation, the baby 
is finally here and with Jesus. 

255
00:15:59,960 --> 00:16:04,160
Everyone was busy and everyone 
was full, so the only place 

256
00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:08,680
available was this stable tucked
round the back with the animals,

257
00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:11,520
including the Unicorn. 
If you kind of go with what we 

258
00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:15,440
just watched, it's quite an 
unassuming entrance for the Son 

259
00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:18,280
of God. 
But everyone in that first 

260
00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:21,840
Christmas story could feel it in
the air. 

261
00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:27,320
Something was happening, 
something holy was happening, 

262
00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:29,960
and they were right in the 
middle of it. 

263
00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:32,720
There was this supernatural 
conception. 

264
00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:37,240
Promises were being spoken about
this child who would be coming, 

265
00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:41,160
a whole sky full of angels 
celebrating his arrival in this 

266
00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:44,120
ordinary backstreet in an 
ordinary town. 

267
00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:48,680
And there was this special star 
that guided people coming from 

268
00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:51,560
afar. 
So who was this baby? 

269
00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:57,640
Could this be the one whose 
birth was foretold so long ago? 

270
00:16:57,960 --> 00:17:00,440
What was his name? 
Who is he? 

271
00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:03,400
And the Angel, as we've heard in
the story so far, Angel 

272
00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:08,400
reassured Joseph Mary will give 
birth to a son, he said, and you

273
00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:12,160
ought to give him the name Jesus
because he will save his people 

274
00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:14,240
from their sins. 
That's what the name Jesus 

275
00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:16,560
means. 
It means the Lord saved. 

276
00:17:16,599 --> 00:17:20,359
It means the Lord rescuers. 
You're my rescuer. 

277
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:24,599
The Angel reminded Joseph of 
promises from old of old and he 

278
00:17:24,599 --> 00:17:29,440
said he will be called Emmanuel,
which means God with us. 

279
00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:35,520
Jesus name speak of who he was 
and of who he is. 

280
00:17:36,120 --> 00:17:39,240
And we're going to look at a few
more of those names this 

281
00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:41,920
morning. 
So with the help of a little bit

282
00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:46,640
of a theme tune from yeah, I 
won't tell you what it's from, 

283
00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:48,280
Hopefully it'll come up on the 
screen. 

284
00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:53,880
We're going to look at our first
name, but I've muddled it up. 

285
00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:58,240
So I just want to apologise to 
all the people in the room who 

286
00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:01,120
struggle with reading. 
I realized after I've done this,

287
00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:03,760
I know quite a lot of people 
here who have dyslexia. 

288
00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:09,000
So I'm really sorry if this is 
really hard for you, but OK, the

289
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:10,800
first name is this. 
It's in a muddle. 

290
00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:13,920
Anyone done that kind of mixing 
up trying to work out what the 

291
00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:15,520
word means? 
So we're going to have a bit of 

292
00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:17,520
a count, a theme and a thing on 
the. 

293
00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:19,800
There we go. 
OK, right, ready. 

294
00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:24,360
This is the first muddled up 
name. 

295
00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:31,400
Cafe Open Price. 
Cafe Open Price. 

296
00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:35,640
What name is that? 
Prince of Peace. 

297
00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:37,360
Prince of Peace. 
Here we go. 

298
00:18:37,360 --> 00:18:38,760
Let's check. 
Here we go. 

299
00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:40,000
Yes. 
Excellent. 

300
00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:42,840
OK, ready for the next one? 
Here we go. 

301
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:45,640
Lasagna. 
River theft. 

302
00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:58,000
Any thoughts? 
This is a bit trickier. 

303
00:18:58,280 --> 00:19:02,200
Everlasting father. 
Nicely done. 

304
00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:04,640
Everlasting Father. 
OK, next one. 

305
00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:14,760
Are we ready? 
Cello round Sunflower and 

306
00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:17,800
wonderful counselor. 
Excellent. 

307
00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:20,200
Wonderful counselor. 
Last one coming up. 

308
00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:22,200
Are you ready? 
This is for January. 

309
00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:26,320
Dig gym, though. 
Dig gym, though. 

310
00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:34,520
Mighty God, nicely done. 
Excellent Prince of Peace, 

311
00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:36,640
everlasting Father, wonderful 
counselor. 

312
00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:40,080
Mighty God. 
Years before Jesus was born, a 

313
00:19:40,120 --> 00:19:43,560
man called Isaiah heard God 
speak about Jesus's coming. 

314
00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:45,320
And this is where we find those 
names. 

315
00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:48,120
So if you've got a Bible, it'll 
be on the screen as well. 

316
00:19:48,120 --> 00:19:51,360
But if you've got a Bible, turn 
to it now in Isaiah Chapter 9, 

317
00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:58,800
verse 6, this is what is said 
for to us, a child is born to 

318
00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:01,760
us, the son is given and the 
government will be on his 

319
00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:06,680
shoulders and he will be called 
wonderful councillor, mighty 

320
00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:10,920
gods, everlasting Father and 
Prince of Peace. 

321
00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:15,120
They're talking about Jesus of 
the increase of his government 

322
00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:18,480
and peace. 
There will be no end. 

323
00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:21,520
OK, there's some, there's some 
big words there. 

324
00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:23,160
Wonderful. 
Counselor, let's think about 

325
00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:25,480
those words. 
What do they mean when I say the

326
00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:29,040
word wonderful? 
Can you give me another word for

327
00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:32,560
the word wonderful? 
Shout out another word for the 

328
00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:38,840
word wonderful. 
Stupendous, amazing, brilliant, 

329
00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:48,440
glorious, fantastic, fabulous, 
splendid, amazing. 

330
00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:52,160
All those words. 
Magnificent, marvellous, 

331
00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:54,680
awesome. 
All those things mean the same 

332
00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:57,120
as the word wonderful, 
beautiful. 

333
00:20:57,400 --> 00:20:59,840
And what does the word 
counsellor mean? 

334
00:20:59,840 --> 00:21:02,800
What comes to mind when I say 
the word counsellor? 

335
00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:05,760
Apart from Anne, who is a 
counsellor? 

336
00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:11,920
Yes, yeah, OK. 
Someone who listens, an advisor,

337
00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:17,640
someone who's wise, someone who 
helps, a helper, All those 

338
00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:20,040
things, yes, kind, thoughtful, 
caring. 

339
00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:23,240
Someone who knows what is best, 
knows what is right, knows what 

340
00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:25,000
is good. 
Put those two together. 

341
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:29,000
Then, wonderful counsellor, we 
have this pretty incredible name

342
00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:31,440
for Jesus. 
That is who Jesus is. 

343
00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:34,600
His very name says I am your 
helper. 

344
00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:38,680
I will comfort you. 
I know you deeply, even better 

345
00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:40,240
than you know yourself. 
Follow me. 

346
00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:43,160
You can trust me. 
Let me show you the way. 

347
00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:47,040
So when you don't know which way
to go, when you're not sure of 

348
00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:51,120
what's ahead, when you don't 
know what to do, call on Jesus, 

349
00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:54,880
your wonderful counsellor. 
Remember who he is. 

350
00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:58,800
Remember his name. 
Let's move on to the word 

351
00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:02,160
mighty, the phrase mighty God, 
Can you give me another name for

352
00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:07,280
mighty, another word for mighty,
strong, powerful. 

353
00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:10,840
All those words, strong, 
powerful, mighty God and God, 

354
00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:13,600
the one who created the heavens 
and the earth, who made the 

355
00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:15,800
skies and the sea and the land 
and the mountains and the 

356
00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:18,680
animals and everything that we 
see put them together. 

357
00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:22,160
That's a pretty incredible name.
That's who Jesus is. 

358
00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:27,400
His very name says I am strong. 
I am the God who made this 

359
00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:29,280
world, who created the heavens 
and the earth. 

360
00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:32,080
Nothing can get in the way of my
love for you. 

361
00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:38,240
I will move mountains for you. 
So when things feel a bit too 

362
00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:42,440
much and you feel a bit too 
small, when things feel 

363
00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:45,200
impossible, remember who Jesus 
is. 

364
00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:51,640
Almighty God, another word for 
everlasting anymore out there, 

365
00:22:52,880 --> 00:23:02,560
enduring, eternal, forever, 
never ending, infinite, always 

366
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:05,280
unfailing. 
What about another word for 

367
00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:13,000
Father, Dad, Daddy, Pops, Papa, 
whatever you kind of wanna call 

368
00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:17,880
him, Put them together. 
That's a pretty incredible name 

369
00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:22,120
for who Jesus is. 
Our everlasting father. 

370
00:23:22,120 --> 00:23:27,880
His very name is like Jesus is 
saying, come sit with me, rest 

371
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:32,280
your head on my chest, feel my 
very heartbeat for you. 

372
00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:37,880
I am yours and you are mine. 
I love you and I will always 

373
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:41,400
hold you close to my heart. 
I will never leave you. 

374
00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:46,120
So when you feel a bit lonely or
you feel a bit bruised, remember

375
00:23:46,120 --> 00:23:50,200
who Jesus is. 
Come up close like a child and 

376
00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:52,960
tell him everything that's on 
your heart. 

377
00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:56,840
OK, Prince of Peace, when you 
hear the word Prince, you might 

378
00:23:56,840 --> 00:24:00,680
think of royalty or of kingly 
heritage of the King's 

379
00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:03,520
household. 
It speaks about how people are 

380
00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:06,400
governed. 
It speaks about priorities and 

381
00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:10,120
values and kingdoms. 
And what about the word peace? 

382
00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:13,000
It doesn't just mean the end of 
conflict. 

383
00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:17,600
This word speaks about 
wholeness, about healing, about 

384
00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:21,600
forgiveness, about restoration, 
about reconciliation. 

385
00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:26,080
Lots of those massive words, 
they all mean goodness. 

386
00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:31,160
Prince of Peace, Prince of 
Goodness. 

387
00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:35,160
That's a pretty incredible name.
That's who Jesus is. 

388
00:24:35,360 --> 00:24:38,600
His very name says you can know 
that I am always with you. 

389
00:24:38,840 --> 00:24:42,400
Whatever comes your way. 
I am where your heart feels 

390
00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:45,600
safe. 
I am the one who heals you and 

391
00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:49,000
makes you whole. 
That's how I do things. 

392
00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:52,280
That's my way. 
That's what Prince of Peace 

393
00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:54,960
means. 
So when you are feeling anxious 

394
00:24:55,240 --> 00:25:00,720
or afraid, remember who Jesus is
and ask him to fill you with his

395
00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:04,160
peace. 
So Jesus, who was with the 

396
00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:07,960
Father and the Spirit at the 
very beginning of creation, all 

397
00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:12,600
three in one, he came as a baby 
here on earth to be with us. 

398
00:25:12,920 --> 00:25:17,440
God with skin on, wonderful 
counsellor, mighty God, 

399
00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:20,520
everlasting Father, Prince of 
Peace. 

400
00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:25,120
Jesus's name is revealed. 
Who he was and who he is and 

401
00:25:25,120 --> 00:25:27,920
what he came to do, He's 
amazing. 

402
00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:33,320
I wonder if there are some other
names or titles that we could 

403
00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:39,480
come up for, come up with for 
Jesus, bearing in mind the 

404
00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:42,560
things that we know about him, 
the person that we know him to 

405
00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:45,440
be. 
So words that are true to who he

406
00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:49,600
is, but they say something about
what he came to do. 

407
00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:51,360
So Nikki, could you come and 
help me? 

408
00:25:51,360 --> 00:25:53,400
Would you be up for doing a 
little bit of writing? 

409
00:25:54,120 --> 00:26:02,080
That would be great. 
I'm here, so we're going to fill

410
00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:05,080
in the blanks. 
Ready. 

411
00:26:11,940 --> 00:26:15,300
OK, OK, thank you. 
Wonderful. 

412
00:26:15,300 --> 00:26:16,900
Blankety blank. 
Here we go. 

413
00:26:17,460 --> 00:26:22,300
So we've got a blank, We've got 
an of and we've got a blank. 

414
00:26:22,340 --> 00:26:25,100
So I've helped you a little bit.
I've come up with some words 

415
00:26:25,100 --> 00:26:28,740
that I know to be true about 
Jesus because I read them in 

416
00:26:28,740 --> 00:26:33,400
here and and because I've 
experienced them and know them 

417
00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:37,960
to be true in the lives of you 
guys and in my own life. 

418
00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:39,960
So let's just look at some of 
these words. 

419
00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:46,080
So the idea with this coming up 
on the next slide is that the 

420
00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:49,440
words on the left, you choose a 
word from the left, we choose 

421
00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:54,040
the of in the middle and we 
choose a word from the section 

422
00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:58,200
on the right. 
And as we do that, all those 

423
00:26:58,200 --> 00:26:59,720
words, I'm going to read them. 
We're going to read them 

424
00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:01,120
together in a minute. 
So let's start from here. 

425
00:27:01,120 --> 00:27:07,280
We've got the word king, truth, 
way, Prince, gift, giver, light,

426
00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:12,800
star, holy one, Savior, rescuer,
Lord, and heart. 

427
00:27:13,080 --> 00:27:17,040
Some of the words on the other 
side, life, kindness, peace, 

428
00:27:17,040 --> 00:27:20,360
mercy, grace, all these things 
that we know about Jesus, the 

429
00:27:20,360 --> 00:27:24,440
world, giving light, truth, 
hope, my heart, happiness, 

430
00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:27,960
heart, healing, goodness, joy, 
wholeness, restoration, 

431
00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:32,120
forgiveness, reconciliation, 
some of those big words again. 

432
00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:36,600
So I want you to take a word 
from the left and that middle of

433
00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:40,920
word and a word from the right 
and we're going to come up with 

434
00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:45,200
some more words that speak about
who Jesus is. 

435
00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:49,120
Does anyone want to shout out 
one that they've got to start 

436
00:27:49,120 --> 00:27:51,320
off with? 
Abby? 

437
00:27:53,520 --> 00:27:54,960
Prince of Peace. 
Yep. 

438
00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:56,520
Prince of Peace. 
We've got that one. 

439
00:27:56,520 --> 00:27:59,400
That's a solid start. 
It's in here. 

440
00:27:59,920 --> 00:28:01,600
OK. 
Any others? 

441
00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:05,040
Savior of the world you can 
make. 

442
00:28:05,040 --> 00:28:08,040
You can use these. 
We don't have to do the ones 

443
00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:12,040
that are already in here. 
Light of the world. 

444
00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:12,840
Yes. 
Light of the world. 

445
00:28:12,840 --> 00:28:16,760
Thank you, Nikki. 
Anymore pardon. 

446
00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:23,840
Heart of Grace. 
Heart of grace, rescuer of my 

447
00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:29,600
heart. 
Any others coming up, say it 

448
00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:34,280
again to you. 
Giver of mercy, Lord of 

449
00:28:34,280 --> 00:28:45,960
happiness, Lord of joy, King of 
the world, any others, Giver of 

450
00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:49,360
life. 
Sorry Nikki, we were just 

451
00:28:49,360 --> 00:28:54,280
motoring through. 
Giver of life anymore. 

452
00:28:56,360 --> 00:29:05,160
Life, Light, Light of light, 
Light of light, Heart of hearts,

453
00:29:05,240 --> 00:29:09,760
yes. 
Heart of heart, Star of truth 

454
00:29:13,760 --> 00:29:27,360
anymore King of Kings of truth, 
star of truth, star of light. 

455
00:29:28,200 --> 00:29:30,320
There's so many different 
options you could have from 

456
00:29:30,320 --> 00:29:32,840
this. 
I mean, I'm just looking at the,

457
00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:36,520
I don't know, King of kindness. 
Like what beautiful thing to say

458
00:29:36,520 --> 00:29:38,680
about Jesus. 
Like all these things. 

459
00:29:38,680 --> 00:29:43,120
He is all these things. 
Thank you, Nikki, we, I'm going 

460
00:29:43,120 --> 00:29:47,520
to leave some words like these 
out there so when we are having 

461
00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:50,440
tea and coffee and stuff like 
that later, you can do some more

462
00:29:50,440 --> 00:29:55,280
and keep scribbling on here. 
All these names of Jesus, but 

463
00:29:55,280 --> 00:29:58,840
speak of who he is and what he 
came to do. 

464
00:30:00,520 --> 00:30:04,360
They're great names. 
Maybe all this is news to you 

465
00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:07,280
this morning, but it is good 
news. 

466
00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:10,480
If you want to know more about 
Jesus, come chat to one of us. 

467
00:30:10,640 --> 00:30:14,040
Pick up a Bible from out there 
on on the info table at the end.

468
00:30:14,040 --> 00:30:17,000
Take it away. 
Read all about him or sign up 

469
00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:18,680
for the Alpha course in the new 
year. 

470
00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:22,320
Jesus came as a baby into the 
mess of our world to be with us.

471
00:30:23,040 --> 00:30:26,960
He lived this sinless life. 
He lived a life that showed us 

472
00:30:27,080 --> 00:30:31,680
what God is like and he said 
come be with me and follow me. 

473
00:30:32,040 --> 00:30:36,560
He loved us to the very end. 
He didn't stay a baby. 

474
00:30:36,640 --> 00:30:40,400
He grew into a man and he gave 
up his life for us, paying the 

475
00:30:40,400 --> 00:30:43,640
price for all of our mess and 
all of the brokenness in the 

476
00:30:43,640 --> 00:30:48,360
world so that if we turn to him 
and if we believe in him, we 

477
00:30:48,360 --> 00:30:53,120
might know how much God loves us
and be with him forever. 

478
00:30:54,040 --> 00:30:58,480
And Titch Harrison Warren, who 
is an Anglican vicar in the 

479
00:30:58,480 --> 00:31:01,800
state, she says this even if we 
had never heard of the name of 

480
00:31:01,840 --> 00:31:05,360
Jesus, we would still need all 
that he came to give. 

481
00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:10,600
In the Bible it says that Jesus 
is the name above all names. 

482
00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:14,120
If you want to turn to 
Philippians chapter 2 verses 9 

483
00:31:14,120 --> 00:31:18,040
to 10, this is what Paul writes.
God exalted him. 

484
00:31:18,040 --> 00:31:20,560
He's talking about Jesus. 
God exalted him to the highest 

485
00:31:20,560 --> 00:31:26,160
place and gave him the name that
is above every name, that the 

486
00:31:26,160 --> 00:31:30,080
name of Jesus. 
Every knee should bow in heaven 

487
00:31:30,280 --> 00:31:33,240
and on earth and under the 
earth. 

488
00:31:34,200 --> 00:31:37,680
There is no name greater than 
the name of Jesus. 

489
00:31:38,040 --> 00:31:42,760
There is no name more powerful. 
There is no name more loving, no

490
00:31:42,760 --> 00:31:45,760
name more gracious, no name more
merciful. 

491
00:31:45,760 --> 00:31:47,960
Think about some of the 
attributes that were on that 

492
00:31:47,960 --> 00:31:51,760
screen. 
There is no name more than the 

493
00:31:51,760 --> 00:31:54,800
name of Jesus. 
And as we encounter him and 

494
00:31:54,800 --> 00:32:00,040
experience him and meet him, it 
involves a response on our part.

495
00:32:00,680 --> 00:32:04,440
You know, when the Angel spoke 
to Mary about her bearing God's 

496
00:32:04,440 --> 00:32:06,960
Son, Mary's response was to 
trust. 

497
00:32:07,440 --> 00:32:11,320
She said, let it be to me, as 
you have said, which means yes, 

498
00:32:11,360 --> 00:32:13,600
Lord. 
And then later she, she burst 

499
00:32:13,600 --> 00:32:16,320
into song, into this song of 
praise to God. 

500
00:32:16,640 --> 00:32:21,400
And Joseph's response was one of
shock and then this surrendering

501
00:32:21,400 --> 00:32:25,000
to God's plan. 
King Herod's response was one of

502
00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:29,280
anger, like rejecting the idea 
that someone else could possibly

503
00:32:29,280 --> 00:32:33,040
be the King of kings. 
The angel's response was glory, 

504
00:32:33,040 --> 00:32:36,400
glory, glory, filling the skies 
with their praise. 

505
00:32:36,600 --> 00:32:39,800
The shepherd's response was 
bowing down on their faces at 

506
00:32:39,800 --> 00:32:43,480
the sky, lit up with angels and 
then praising God after they 

507
00:32:43,760 --> 00:32:47,480
visited Jesus. 
The wise men's response was to 

508
00:32:47,480 --> 00:32:52,080
follow and bring presents, gifts
that spoke of his life that he 

509
00:32:52,080 --> 00:32:56,320
was to live. 
When Jesus comes again, every 

510
00:32:56,320 --> 00:33:02,000
knee will bow and our response 
will be worthy, worthy, holy. 

511
00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:06,080
Holy are you Lord. 
But for now, we also have this 

512
00:33:06,280 --> 00:33:08,840
moment, this opportunity to 
respond. 

513
00:33:10,680 --> 00:33:13,680
So this Christmas, what do you 
need to remember about the name 

514
00:33:13,680 --> 00:33:16,240
of Jesus? 
What do you need to remember 

515
00:33:16,240 --> 00:33:19,520
about who he is? 
Or what do you need to know 

516
00:33:19,520 --> 00:33:23,040
again or experience who about 
who He is? 

517
00:33:23,520 --> 00:33:27,120
Do you need to know that He is a
mighty God, all powerful and 

518
00:33:27,120 --> 00:33:30,680
able to do things that at the 
moment seem impossible? 

519
00:33:31,440 --> 00:33:34,600
Do you need to know the 
closeness of a loving Father who

520
00:33:34,600 --> 00:33:39,120
has promised never to walk out 
on you, who has promised to 

521
00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:43,200
always be with you, and who is 
forever good and forever kind 

522
00:33:43,200 --> 00:33:47,040
and forever present? 
So you need to know that He's 

523
00:33:47,040 --> 00:33:51,160
the bringer of peace to your 
mind, to your body, to your 

524
00:33:51,160 --> 00:33:55,000
family, to your gatherings over 
the next few days. 

525
00:33:55,400 --> 00:33:59,880
He is all these things and more.
He is who He says He is. 

526
00:34:00,320 --> 00:34:02,640
We can trust Him. 
It's all in His name. 

527
00:34:03,840 --> 00:34:07,480
So if you need reminding who 
Jesus is, go back to some of 

528
00:34:07,480 --> 00:34:11,440
these words and some of these 
words that describe him in the 

529
00:34:11,440 --> 00:34:14,280
Bible. 
The name of Jesus is beautiful 

530
00:34:14,920 --> 00:34:17,560
is all your heart is longing 
for. 

531
00:34:18,560 --> 00:34:22,880
So we're just going to take a 
little moment now to respond and

532
00:34:22,880 --> 00:34:24,239
we're going to be quiet for a 
moment. 

533
00:34:24,239 --> 00:34:27,679
And I want to invite everyone of
you to just have your own little

534
00:34:27,679 --> 00:34:31,040
conversation with God just 
quietly in your heart. 

535
00:34:31,040 --> 00:34:33,840
And to help you do that, I'm 
just going to give you a few 

536
00:34:33,840 --> 00:34:37,679
openers to get you started. 
Like they're conversation 

537
00:34:37,679 --> 00:34:41,239
openers that you can continue 
and the rest of your day and 

538
00:34:41,239 --> 00:34:45,159
your week. 
So first of all, I'd love for 

539
00:34:45,159 --> 00:34:49,159
you to tell God the bit of 
Christmas where you feel closest

540
00:34:49,159 --> 00:34:58,410
to Him. 
And then I wonder if you could 

541
00:34:58,810 --> 00:35:02,570
tell him something that you 
might find difficult this 

542
00:35:02,570 --> 00:35:11,770
Christmas. 
You know, when Jesus was born, 

543
00:35:11,770 --> 00:35:14,050
the shepherds bowed down and the
angels sang. 

544
00:35:14,530 --> 00:35:19,370
I wonder what you would have 
done had you been there and what

545
00:35:19,370 --> 00:35:28,640
would you like to do now? 
Just stay in that place of 

546
00:35:28,640 --> 00:35:32,680
having a conversation with Jesus
and we're just going to have a 

547
00:35:32,680 --> 00:35:36,400
song that's going to be sung to 
us while we're in that space. 

548
00:38:22,800 --> 00:38:25,360
Why don't you stand And we're 
going to worship together. 

549
00:38:30,590 --> 00:38:33,950
Yeah. 
Lord Jesus, our response, Lord 

550
00:38:33,950 --> 00:38:38,070
Jesus is to is to worship you. 
We come to worship you. 

551
00:38:38,070 --> 00:38:40,390
Thank you that we can celebrate 
your coming.
