    Introduction: A. One Sunday a young child was “acting up” during the morning worship service and the child’s parents did their best to maintain some sense of order in the pew, but they were losing the battle. 1.

    Some responses from unbelievers and many Christians when they are invited to church might be: “I can worship anywhere.” “I like to worship while I fish." "I learn just as much staying home and watching a preacher on TV." What response can we give?

    It is called; "A Christmas Carol” written by Charles Dickens. The publishing of his book was hugely popular; its first printing of 6,000 copies sold out in less than three days, and that was back in 1843 on December 19th just 6 days before Christmas; that was without computers, television, not ...read more

    Explore some of the reasons Jesus was born, often teach our children that Jesus came, but seldom do we help them understand why He came. Perhaps we have never considered this or have come up with the idea this scripture presents but not the why. Explore that today.
