If you are unable to view the stream or if it's going too slow, go here: Watch Video
This drama skit was performed by VWOC Teen Drama Group called "SHOCKWAVE".
What chains... what baggage are you carrying into 2009? Hatred? Greed? Maybe you suffer from Rejection... or Depression. Are you shackled by the grips of drugs... heavy drinking... or perversion?
God wants you to be a Winner and Jesus wants to set you free from your bondage.
JESUS DIED ON THE CROSS TO SET YOU FREE!
He has taken on the bondage of our sins for us, but we must be willing to let it go and give it over to Him. Let today be the day you release all your hurts and habits to the one who loves you most. Let today be the day of Victory!
The Bible says, "And the God of all grace, who called you to His eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will Himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast. To him be the power for ever and ever. Amen." 1 Peter 5:10-11 (NIV)
There is restoration and strength waiting for you. Restoring the brokenness and hurts. Strength to resist the habits that has severed relationships around you. All you need to do is pray that Jesus will set you free. Ask Jesus into your life; allowing Him to transform your mind and soul forever.
All these years you've been doing it your way- and it's not working! Trust in Jesus and He will give you a new life. A life full of hope, blessings and healing.
"Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you." 1 Peter 5:7 (NIV)

Happy Birthday, Jesus!
Luke 2 (The Message):
"About that time Caesar Augustus ordered a census to be taken throughout the Empire. This was the first census when Quirinius was governor of Syria. Everyone had to travel to his own ancestral hometown to be accounted for. So Joseph went from the Galilean town of Nazareth up to Bethlehem in Judah, David's town, for the census. As a descendant of David, he had to go there. He went with Mary, his fiancée, who was pregnant.
While they were there, the time came for her to give birth. She gave birth to a son, her firstborn. She wrapped him in a blanket and laid him in a manger, because there was no room in the hostel.
There were sheepherders camping in the neighborhood. They had set night watches over their sheep. Suddenly, God's angel stood among them and God's glory blazed around them. They were terrified. The angel said, "Don't be afraid. I'm here to announce a great and joyful event that is meant for everybody, worldwide: A Savior has just been born in David's town, a Savior who is Messiah and Master. This is what you're to look for: a baby wrapped in a blanket and lying in a manger."
At once the angel was joined by a huge angelic choir singing God's praises: Glory to God in the heavenly heights, Peace to all men and women on earth who please him.
As the angel choir withdrew into heaven, the sheepherders talked it over. "Let's get over to Bethlehem as fast as we can and see for ourselves what God has revealed to us." They left, running, and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby lying in the manger. Seeing was believing. They told everyone they met what the angels had said about this child. All who heard the sheepherders were impressed.
Mary kept all these things to herself, holding them dear, deep within herself. The sheepherders returned and let loose, glorifying and praising God for everything they had heard and seen. It turned out exactly the way they'd been told!
When the eighth day arrived, the day of circumcision, the child was named Jesus, the name given by the angel before he was conceived."
The name "Jesus": God Saves. Salvation
The name "Messiah": The Christ, The Anointed One.
The name "Immanuel": God with Us
Happy Birthday, Jesus!
Thank you for coming to Earth to rescue us from our eternal destination, Hell.
You are the REAL Gift-Giver. You have given us gifts of Love, Forgiveness, and Reconciliation.
Despite our selfishness, our rebellion- despite our sins... you still want a relationship with us. That's Grace!
We love you, Jesus!

"The Christmas Story" Through A Child's Voice

Watch Video
"The Christmas Story" told by a child.
Pure, Simple and True.
"I tell you the truth, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it." And He took the children in his arms, put His hands on them and blessed them." Mark 10:15-16 (NIV)
Do you see Jesus through the eyes of a child?
Child-like faith is full of wonder - full of hope - and full of promise.
Jesus came to this earth to save you. He wants to have an eternal relationship with you.
Pin all your trust on Him. This holiday season isn't about a decorated Christmas tree. It's about the tree, the cross that He decorated with forgiveness, love, and grace.

"The Purpose of Christmas"
Have you ever asked yourself, "What is the real purpose of Christmas?"
A reporter from FOX Business interviews Pastor Rick Warren regarding the meaning of Christmas.
Pastor Rick shares about "getting back to the real purpose of Christmas".
If you are unable to view the stream or if it's going too slow, go here:
Watch Video
Pastor Rick's celebration of Christmas of 51 years is something we all should think about intigrating into our own homes.
Making new traditions:
* Hold a birthday party for Jesus
* Sing Christmas carols
* Read "The Christmas Story" (Matthew 1:18 - Matthew 2:23)
* Share what you are most thankful to God for - "Attitude of Gratitude".
* Gifts for Jesus: Share non-material things you have given to Jesus. Life, time, wisdom, commitment and service.
* Make/buy a birthday cake for Jesus and sing "Happy Birthday" to Him.
* The youngest in the family blows out the candle
These are radical ideas. Ideas that are against what our culture would say Christmas is all about. You will be getting rid of the "me" attitude and focusing on the "gratitude" of the real life gift-giver, Jesus Christ.
Make it about celebrating all the wonderful things Christ has done for you-- starting with His birth here on Earth.
