Summary

Join us as Julie and Matt take you through the enchanting and magical season of Christmas. Listen in as we get in the holiday spirit, share jokes, discuss traditions, and eagerly anticipate the joys of the season. This episode we question what "Advent" means and explore the importance of this season beyond the presents and decorations. But hold your holiday horses! We're not just talking presents and decorations here, we're journeying back to the biblical roots of Christmas. While we anticipate the arrival of the big day, let's rewind to the very beginning - the book of Genesis. We'll explore the inception of everything good, and remind ourselves that Christmas is not merely about the gifts under the tree, but about celebrating the birth of Jesus. Helpful Definitions: ADVENT — Arrival. Scripture Reference: Genesis 3:6, Luke 2:10-11 5-Second Fly Through Review: What are other names for commandment? (RULES, WORDS, LAW) Who gave the Israelites the 10 commandments? (GOD) True or false? Jesus obeyed all of the commandments perfectly (TRUE!) True or False? When God's people break his commands, he doesn’t forgive them. (FALSE. BECAUSE JESUS CAME TO SAVE SINNERS, GOD FORGIVES THOSE WHO LOVE AND TRUST HIM) Fill in the blank. God’s rules are good because God is ________ (GOOD!)
