We love to sing songs at Christmas, especially songs that teach us God’s purpose for coming to the world. We celebrate through carols that fill our hearts with the “Christmas Spirit.” This year at Southland we will not only sing our Christmas playlist, we’ll talk about the message and what it means to our every day lives. So, you’ll find some old titles but you’ll hear the story that never ages.

If our songs are to celebrate the true purpose and meaning of Christmas, we have to hear from Jesus Himself. John records a prayer Jesus prayed that references the reasons He came to the world. While our salvation is His primary concern, our joy is the blessing and benefit of that salvation. To prepare, read John 17:1-19.

Christmas has happened...Jesus is born! In his announcement to Mary about the birth of the Son of God, Gabriel reminds us that this event is not limited to our space and time. This event ushers in God’s eternal plan for the redemption and purification of all people so that His kingdom will be holy and supreme. Christmas songs declaring the reign of Christ aren’t only for our holiday celebration. We will sing of His glory forever. To prepare, read Luke 1:26-33, Revelation 11:15 and 22:1-6.
