Matthew 2:1-2, 9-11 Our true story comes from a part of the Bible called the Gospel of Matthew. Matthew was a disciple of Jesus. That means Jesus was his teacher. And the word gospel means “good news!” This part of the true story of Christmas begins with wise men. "W" is for Wise Man. The wise men knew that God was going to send someone very special, and they wanted to see Him. One night, while the wise men waited, they saw a very special star in the sky.   When the wise men saw the special star, they knew they needed to follow it.  Walk, walk, walk. They kept looking at the star and following it. Walk, walk, walk . . . Finally, the wise men saw the star stop. So, they stopped. The star had stopped over a house. Who do you think lived in that house? Jesus lived in that house! When the wise men saw Jesus, they knew He was the very special person they were looking for. They knew Jesus was the one God sent to show how much He loves everyone.  The wise men bowed down and wors...

Luke 2:8-21 Our true story comes from a part of the Bible called the Gospel of Luke. Luke loved Jesus and wanted others to know and love Jesus, too. And the word gospel means “good news!” The true story of Christmas happened a long, long, loooong time ago when Jesus was born. Now, because Jesus is God’s Son, you would think that He was born in a very special place like a . . .  . . . CASTLE! And there would be a big party with lots of confetti and lots and lots of people! But that’s not what happened. Jesus was born in a stable where animals live. There wasn’t a party or a lot of people. It was just Mary, Joseph, and some animals.  Do you think that is the end of the Christmas story? No, that is not the end of the Christmas story. You see, God wanted EVERYONE to know that His Son, Jesus, was born. So, on that very same night, God sent a special message to some shepherds out in a field. There’s our word! "S" is for SHEPHERDS! What do you think a shepherd’s job is? They take ca...

Luke 2:1-7 Our true story comes from a part of the Bible called the Gospel of Luke. Luke loved Jesus and wanted others to know and love Jesus, too. And the word gospel means “good news!” We begin with a word that starts with the letter J! The word is a name for a very special baby. A woman named Mary and her husband, Joseph lived in a town called Nazareth. But they need to go far away to a city called Bethlehem. They could have walked to Bethlehem, but Mary was going to have a baby. She couldn’t walk aaaaall that way. So, she needed a ride. Hmm . . . what do you think Mary rode to Bethlehem? Do you think Mary rode on a bus? No, Mary didn’t ride a bus to Bethlehem. Do you think Mary rode on a train? No, Mary didn’t ride a train to Bethlehem, either. Mary probably rode on an animal. Like a donkey! When Mary and Joseph finally got to Bethlehem, they needed to find a place to stay. So, they began looking around town. They knocked on Door A. But there wasn’t any room there.  Then they k...

Luke 1:26-33, 38, 46-49 Our true story comes from a part of the Bible called the Gospel of Luke. Luke loved Jesus and wanted others to know and love Jesus, too. And the word gospel means “good news!” This is the true story of . . . CHRISTMAS! The true story of Christmas begins a long, long, time ago, and it is AMAZING!  Do you know that God loved you before you were even born? It’s true! God loved you; God loved all of us before we were born! And because God loves us sooo much, God gave us Jesus! THAT is where the true story of Christmas begins.  One day, God told a woman named Mary that she would have a very special baby named Jesus. Now, how do you think God told Mary she would have Baby Jesus? Do you think God called her on the phone to tell her? Noooo . . . God didn’t call Mary on a cell phone. Do you think God sent her a letter in the mail to tell her? Noooo . . . God didn’t mail Mary a letter. This is how God told Mary about Jesus. God sent an . . .  ANGEL! "A" is f...
