Come out in church, how are we?

Everybody good?

Good.

Merry Christmas.

If you've got your Bibles, and I hope you do, we're going to be in Acts Chapter 24.

We're the only church in the world that does the Christmas service out of Acts Chapter 24.

Isn't that great?

But that's where we are.

So that's where we'll be, and it'll and the commercialization of Christmas that you miss Jesus.

And so I don't want you to miss Jesus.

We're going to talk about him a lot.

But quite honestly, I don't really preach against the commercialization of Christmas because I kind of like it.

I'm into Rudolph.

I like Santa Claus.

I like that he brings me good gifts. but I deserve it because I'm good.

That was something that bothered me my whole life growing up. I thought, man, Santa Claus is not very

observant because he's not paying attention to my year. But still, every year, we would get all

kind of awesome gifts. And some of um some of my greatest

memories growing up as a kid are all about christmas you see i grew up in dylan south

carolina and we love christmas more than you do because what you people do y'all just decorate

like put lights on your house just at christmas time but my people my people put you put

the lights up year round i I mean, I can remember
