The Joys of Christmas (3 of 4)
Series: It's Beginning to Look A Lot Like Christmas
Pastor Jeff Schreve
Luke 2:8-20
Well, if you have your Bibles, please turn to Luke chapter 2, Luke chapter 2. I want to talk to you about this subject, "The Joys of Christmas." Now we have talked in this series, "It's Beginning to look a Lot like Christmas," we're talked, first of all, about the miracles of Christmas when the angel came to Mary and said, "Mary, you're pregnant," and she said, "Wow!"

And then, finally, you get to open it. And I remember opening one. I was so excited. And then, I opened it, and it was soap on a rope. What a crummy gift for an 8 year-old kid, right? I mean, I probably stunk, but I don't want my soap on a rope. But now, on Christmas morning, that's when we were told Santa was going to come. And I had to go to sleep on Christmas Eve. It's hard to sleep on Christmas Eve when you're a kid, you know it. And my mom would say, "Well, you know, Santa's not going to come unless you go to sleep on Christmas Eve." And so we'd just try and try and fin ...
