God does what he says. Jesus came and lived and died and rose again. In this world we will have trouble, but we can take heart because Jesus has overcome the world. And he brings us into his family, sharing all of the privileges of being God's children!

O come let us adore him, Christ the Lord! That's what the wise men did - may God help us to follow their example.

Jesus gives you hope that does not disappoint. Simeon was able to look forward and die in peace knowing there was a great future ahead because Jesus the Rescuer had come!

There really was a 'today' when the promised rescuer was born - this message is 'to you'. May we have the same joy and amazement as the shepherds as we go and 'see' Jesus!

Everything happened just as God said, even though it meant moving the entire Roman Empire. We can trust him to do what he says he will do. And he is a humble God who serves us - God is love. May we serve one another and in doing so show that we know Jesus, Immanuel.

God named the baby Jesus - it describes exactly who he is and what he has come to do. He is the Saviour.

God knows our fears and he speaks into them. He doesn't belittle them, but kindly encourages us to trust him. Why did Joseph take the difficult option of trusting the Lord even though there would be a cost? Because he knew the Lord is good and all his ways are good!

It's good to sing together about just how faithful God is. He does what he says - always. May we trust him who lifts up the humble and fills the poor.

Jesus brings joy to people as he sets us free from sin and one day will restore the universe. He is so kind in giving us friends and giving us all that we need to serv e him.

Jesus is the God-man. He is holy. What a Person. Only Jesus can be our Substitute and Saviour.
