Summary

We are not mistakers in need of a life coach, but sinners in need of a savior. “I am trying here to prevent anyone saying the really foolish thing that people often say about Him: I’m ready to accept Jesus as a great moral teacher, but I don’t accept his claim to be God. That is the one thing we must not say. A man who was merely a man and said the sort of things Jesus said would not be a great moral teacher. He would either be a lunatic — on the level with the man who says he is a poached egg — or else he would be the Devil of Hell. You must make your choice. Either this man was, and is, the Son of God, or else a madman or something worse. You can shut him up for a fool, you can spit at him and kill him as a demon or you can fall at his feet and call him Lord and God, but let us not come with any patronizing nonsense about his being a great human teacher. He has not left that open to us. He did not intend to.” C.S. Lewis

0:00.0	Well, Merry Christmas Church of 1122. How's everybody doing today? Doing good? Awesome. Hey, welcome to our Christmas service. Our Christmas Eve service is on you, so you do that whenever, and we'll talk about that at the end of the service. But we're so glad that you're here for our Christmas service. A couple of housekeeping things before we get going. First of all, I said I'd wear a
0:21.7	sweater, so you'll get used to it. I have, okay? If you're a guest, it's how I dress every week, so get over it.
0:27.2	All right. Also, you remember last week we said that in January, on January 11th, we're going to start a brand new service at
0:33.0	130, a live service right in here. Yay. And so we wanted you to take this Hunter Safety orange card
0:39.8	and go home and pray over it. And then regardless of your prayer, move to the 130 service. We need
0:45.3	like everybody from this side of the room over here to start attending 130 service. The reason why
0:49.9	is because at the church of 1122 in January, well, really two things happen. The gym fills up and the church fills up.
0:55.9	And then three weeks in to your gym membership, you quit going.
0:58.6	All right.
0:58.9	And then, but everybody keeps, they keep coming to our church.
1:01.3	And so we need to make room for the 1,000 or so people this New Year's resolution
1:06.0	is to go to heaven.
1:07.5	And so we want to make room for them. And so we need a bunch of you to move to the
1:11.7	130 service, particularly the 1122 service. We need you. If you go to 522, thank you, thank you,
1:17.9	thank you. You're awesome. If you're worshipping in the sanctuary, which is a video venue through
1:21.7	those doors, thank you, thank you, thank you. But for those of you sitting in here right now, we need you to move to 130. January 11th, I'm moving.
1:28.5	I'll be here.
1:29.4	I'll be live at 1.30 and right here.
1:31.3	So do that.
1:32.1	Also, this is typically the part of the service where I say, if you've got your Bibles, turn to Luke chapter 2 is where we're going to be.
1:40.3	But this morning is it's a little bit different.
1:41.9	I need you to open up your notes, okay? Open up your notes, your bulletin that you got when you came in.
