Christmas Song Videos
Christmas is coming. Enjoy Thanksgiving and take a few moments to plan your December. Don't let it get so busy that you cannot truly enjoy worshiping our Savior and spending time with friends and family. Parties and everything else is great, but don't be controlled by the season. Relax. It's OK to say no to a few invitations, in order to be wise and honor the Lord.
And check out these videos. We'll sing "Joy Has Dawned" and "The Unbelievable." We'll also sing "Go Tell It on the Mountain" but maybe not quite like the Gettys!

Sunday Morning begins Saturday Night
I have believed this and taught it for quite some time now: Sunday morning begins Saturday night.
If you wait until Sunday morning to get ready, you will miss out. It's the most important day of the week, the greatest time of spiritual nourishment, and the best thing you can do with your family.
So, make some lists, start even before Saturday supper. Lay out the clothes, find the shoes. Find the Bibles, too! Get good sleep. Be disciplined. Your favorite athletes are disciplined in their fields. Why shouldn't we make the same kinds of decisions to be ready?
We get to work on time. We get to school on time. We get to our games on time. Why not be even more for prepared church? And then let this pattern set the tone for the whole week.

Immanuel
Stuart Townend wrote "Immanuel" in 1999 about our Savior, Jesus the Christ.
We'll sing it on Sunday, November 15. Below is the song video with lyrics.
Here's Stuart on the song:
This is a narrative song about Christ’s birth, life, death, resurrection and impending return. People often find ‘story songs’ easy to understand and relate to, and this one in particular focuses on Hi s humanity, His compassion, His empathy, His own betrayal and suffering, yet his determination to win through for the sake of the human race.
The song starts with the Christmas story – probably the most familiar of the Christian narratives in our culture. Yet its retelling often becomes so softened and sanitised (often, ironically, by the carols we sing) that its true significance is greatly reduced.
In the first verse of this song I wanted to recapture some of the shocking reality of the birth of the Song on God – the scandal of an unmarried mother giving birth in a squalid, cold stable – and that God should choose for Himself such a humble path.
The final verse, about Jesus’ return, is in some ways uncomfortable, but it is a necessary part of our understanding of ‘the end of the story’, and the vital importance of receiving God’s saving grace in Christ.
