The Mystery of Christmas

So you probably know the Christmas story by now. It might be mixed up with a bit of Santa Claus, a splash of Frosty the snowman, elves and whole lot of gift giving, but the basic story should be in your brain area. There are bunch of mysteries that surround this event. How could the prophets have predicted the facts of Jesus birth? How did the wise men track the star? But the biggest mystery of all is just how God himself come to earth as a little helpless baby?

After a break of 400 years between the old and new testaments we know God people were waiting for a Saviour, a Messiah and then Jesus arrived! It took almost 300 years after Jesus returned to Heaven for Christians to decide that December the 25th was a good date to celebrate the birth of Jesus. There were other festivals around that time that were not about the God of the Bible, so they used the celebration to tell the Good News of Jesus.

And so today the basic message of Christmas is a big announcement and a celebration. God, the almighty creator of the universe, has come into the world.

In Luke 2:10 "I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people."

It's personal: "I bring YOU." It is positive: "GOOD news of great joy." And it is unlimited: "for ALL the people." God is not a far off or distant, He is with us. The mystery of Christmas is Jesus, God revealed. This is good news that leads us to worship Him.

Engaging children of this generation in worship - - Building the lives of children all over the globe.

We believe that teaching children to love God and others takes place in both the home and in the church. For this reason we seek to partner with parents (the greatest teachers of all!) and with church pastors and leaders, equipping them with great resource. Through fun experiences, meaningful music and ministry that encourages kids to participate, we present Jesus Christ and His Church in a relevant way, creating moments which children will never forget.

Anyone can do what we do. The simple key is to love God, love His Church and have fun!
