This new year, I want to invite you to be a part of what God is doing here at Harvest.

We have some great plans in store, and I want to encourage you to invest in what we are doing.

And by the way, whatever you give will be doubled thanks to our year-end match fund.

So help us continue to reach unexpected people in unexpected places with an unexpected message,

the message of the gospel through our evangelistic events, radio, television, online media,

Harvest Plus, and the list goes on. We want to seek to fulfill the great commission, and we can do it

together. So thanks for whatever you

can do. Let's pray together. Lord, on this Christmas Eve of 24, we're thankful to be here. We think

of loved ones that may have been with us last year or the year before that are now celebrating Christmas in your presence.

But Lord, we're thankful for this moment where we reflect back on the birth of Jesus Christ and

how it changed human history, but how it changed our lives individually as well.

So we ask you to bless this time as we open your word and reflect on the

greatest story ever told. Speak to us from your word we ask. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen. You can all be seated. Merry

Christmas. Felice Navidad. Meli Kaliki Makkah. For those over in Maui, hello, Harvest Orange County, Harvest Maui,

all of you watching at Harvest at Home, welcome. Okay, so before I dive in to my message,

the premise and promise of Christmas. The premise

and promise of Christmas, but I want to take a little trip down memory lane. You know, I went

into my iPhone earlier and I just typed in the word Christmas and it'll take all the photos

that you've taken over the years at Christmas.

And wow, it was just incredible, so many memories.

And I came across this old video that was shot 30 years ago when we did a little TV show
