under the tree sometimes i shake them i squeeze them and i feel how heavy they are i mean i know that in just a little bit i'll open them but i'm pretty good at guessing what might be in the box liz it is so funny that you say that because my family actually gave me a couple gifts early this year and i have them right here oh so maybe you could do your you know yeah really special skill and try and guess what they are i mean see what i got i don't usually do it in front of an audience but i guess i could give it a try okay let's do it okay this will be fun okay okay here's my first one okay heavy hmm squeaking around in there [Music] sometimes i smell them you never know be like a puppy or cookies no smell this is a watercolor set i hope you're right because i did ask for one of those a watercolor set right now wow okay liz hey one for one that's right but can you go two for two i don't know let's see here's number two a little heavy oh i thought i smelled something but i wasn't sure it smells sweet this is a box of lollipops see if she's right guys it's a box of lollipops uh-huh wow i'm just gonna uh yeah you want one take one yeah yep okay two for two two for two so this last one's really hard okay cause i i even shook it and everything and it doesn't make any noise not a whole lot of weight to it nope not a whole lot of movement [Music] no smell is it an empty box no there's something in there delaney [Music] this this is a pair of oven mitts just the regular kind not christmasy the detail let's see friends a set of oven mitts wow and this is exactly this is what i needed all of these gifts are things i asked for thanks family and thank you liz yeah i mean it's taken a lot of practice though i've been shaking christmas presents for like 30 years wow you're so

again i'll say it first and then you guys let's do this today today in the town of david in the town of david a savior a savior was born was born to you to you to who to you he is the messiah the messiah the lord the lord luke luke 2 11 2 11. great yes good job you crushed that dude all right now let's do it together all right are you ready yes are you ready here we go today in the town of david a savior was born to you he is the messiah the lord luke 2 11. wow awesome job you guys crushed it and we are so excited to spend christmas month with you all right let's kick it back over to liz and delink all right [Music] today we're hearing the story of jesus's birth speaking of our story liz do you think you could review how our friends at home could find the story in their own bibles like you did last week yeah yeah sure now if you have a bible nearby you'll want to grab it you'll probably need an adult's help too you can use these tips to look up anything in the bible including our memory verse or our story so follow along with us okay so the first thing we're going to do we're going to open the bible to our table of contents and you'll see there are a list of books in the old testament and a list of books in the new testament so we need to figure out where our story comes out of and it comes out of the book of luke which you can find under the new testament so we'll just run our finger down that's how we find luke and luke is on page number 1235 that that's a big number whoa that's a really big yeah so it might take you a little while to find it we have bookmarked ours so it's a little quicker for us but this is the title page of luke we found it so what we'll do is we'll look for the chapter number next open that book up so our story comes from luke chapter two the chapter number is the big number so i see a number one does anyone see a number two yet um i don't think so let's flip another page we're looking for that big number two one see it oh it's right over here [Music] all right so this is where our story comes from it's verse number one through seven the verse number is the teeny tiny numbers so you can look down one all the way through the teeny tiny number seven right there and that's where it ends awesome [Applause] so let's take a look and see what it says in luke 2 verses 1-7 check it out the bible it's 66 books of history stories letters and poetry that fit together to form god's one big story the epic adventure of how he created us and loves us so much that he made a way to rescue us as we travel through the bible from genesis to revelation we discover people who met god and found their lives changed forever now for an amazing story inspired by the book of luke chapter 2 verses 1 through seven mary's world had been turned upside down though she was an ordinary girl living in an unimportant town god had sent an angel to visit her god is very pleased with you me you're talking to me you will become pregnant and give birth to a son you must call him jesus he will be great and will be called the son of the most high god mary was probably shocked overwhelmed and maybe fearful but she chose joy she chose to trust that god loved her so much he had given her an important part to play in his story i serve the lord may it happen to me just as you said it would just as the angel had said mary became pregnant and the monks raced by mary and her new husband joseph prepared for the brand new baby to arrive a cradle i'll make him the most beautiful cradle you've ever seen joseph was a carpenter and took pride in creating smooth tables and sturdy cartwheels but his work was soon interrupted mary joseph and every person in the tiny town of nazareth streamed out of their homes a messenger on a dusty horse skidded to a stop in the small town market is this really a town it doesn't deserve a dot on the map as the people of nazareth watched from a careful distance the messenger pulled out a scroll and cleared his throat hear ye hear ye caesar augustus orders that everyone must go to their town of origin to be counted can't you just count us now one two three no no the counting must be done properly and in order so we can make you pay lots of taxes farewell and by that i mean good riddance mary and joseph and their neighbors were left coughing in the dust joseph we'll have to go to bethlehem where your family is from the i'll go you can't travel right now of course i can absolutely not a short time later mary and joseph set off on the long road to bethlehem perhaps they were called the words of the prophet micah bethlehem you might not be an important town in the nation of judah but out of you will come for me a ruler over israel it's possible mary rode on a donkey or she might have walked right alongside joseph either way the journey took nearly a week and camping wasn't very comfortable for a woman about to have a baby [Music] please tell me your cousins will have a bed for us great aunt aydah is the perfect hostess but when they reached bethlehem the little town was neither silent nor still it looks like everyone else came home too well if and ada doesn't have room there's always cousin gideon oh he makes an excellent pigeon pie but not a single one of joseph's relatives had a spare room or an extra bed please just anywhere this baby is coming soon at last someone found them room in a place where the animals stayed absolutely not we'll take it mary and joseph did everything they could to get the space ready for a new baby clean hay fresh water and in a short time mary's baby was born it's a boy his name is jesus mary tore a clean cloth into wide strips and tightly wrapped her baby to keep him warm and cozy no cradle where will he sleep put fresh hay in the animal's feeding trough we'll lay him in there what about the sheep they don't mind mary lay her tiny baby in the clean hay the king of the whole world sleeping in a manger next to the animals he's perfect yes he is in the most unexpected place at the most unexpected time god had shown his love he sent his very own son as a baby to rescue the whole world [Music] [Applause] friends this week is a special week this is the week that we celebrate the birth of jesus jesus is the ultimate example of god's love for us god loved us so much that he gave us a savior god showed us how much he loves us by sending jesus to rescue us he sent jesus to bring us hope joy and peace he proved that we can trust him no matter what one day jesus would die on the cross to pay the price for our sins if we believe and put our faith in him we can have a relationship with god that will last forever what a wonderful gift yes and what a wonderful reminder of god's love that's right christmas can be very busy there are a lot of things to be excited about from great food to fun gifts to pretty decorations but in the middle of everything else going on as you celebrate christmas take some time to think about how much god loves you he sent jesus as a gift for you god loved us so much that he gave us a savior let's spend some time right now to talk with our families about how special the gift of jesus
