Have you heard the news? Christmas IS ON A SUNDAY this year! It doesn’t happen again till 2022 and then again in 2033,2039 and 2050. But like it or not, it’s a reality in the here and now. So what are you going to do about it?

The last time Christmas was on a Sunday was in 2011. Back then a LifeWay Research poll of 1,000 Protestant pastors, 91% were planning on having a service of some kind on Christmas Sunday morning. While 69% said they were also going to have a Christmas Eve service. Of the estimated 9%, who were not planning on having a service, some made national headlines when they decided to cancel.

You might have noticed the term, “service of some kind,” as many churches had modified their regular activities to allow for people to participate in both their family traditions and attend a church service. Many had elected to only do one “family service” (which offered no separate children’s programs) held later in the morning. This was to minimize the demands on volunteers but also to be together on a special day.

This was the approach that my church took in 2011. To say the least, I was a bit skeptical at first. Thinking that few would come and after all the work that goes into Christmas Eve I was not excited about showing up early the next morning. But I can honestly say it was one of the best Christmas’s. First of all, we left everything in place from the night before so we didn’t have to set anything up. Then, like I previously mentioned, the service was later in the day, which allowed for Christmas morning traditions, presents, and breakfast. So that after the wrapping paper had been torn to shreds we actually had something to do. The service lasted about an hour. The worship team did two Christmas songs, we had the kids do a few special songs to tracks, which all the parents and grandparents loved (also brought their family out to church) and didn’t require a bunch of prep or costumes. Our Pastor shared a short message of hope. Not to sound overly spiritual here but it really was a very spiritual moment to be in church on Christmas. After the service concluded we exchanged Christmas greetings with our church family and then headed home to play with new toys, eat again, and spend the day with family.

No matter what you choose to do this Christmas, we just wanted to make you aware it was coming so you could plan. Also wanted to share some thoughts and experiences, but we really wanted to get the conversation started. What did your church do on Sunday Morning Christmas 2011? What worked and what didn’t?  What are you going to do this year?

This past summer I took my family to Disney world.  It is supposedly a magical Kingdom.  I can tell you that none of my dreams came true when I visited Disney World.  I wished for a hover-board that would take me around the park.  I wished for an endless supply of free food and drinks.  I wished for lower ticket prices and for at least half of the million people that were in that park to disappear... and nothing.  I knew who was to blame for all of this craziness.  It was not difficult because his statue was right in the middle of the park.  It was none other than Walt Disney himself.  

In ancient days, Kings would put a statue in every corner of his empire to let you know whose kingdom it was.  When you saw this statue, it was a constant reminder of who was ultimately in charge. Have you ever considered that God made you in His image for the same reason?  He wanted to place you in position on the earth, so you could reflect His holiness and brilliance.  Isaiah 61:3 says you will be “a display of His splendor.”  1 Peter 2:9 says...

But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.  

Did you get that?  We are called to be a Kingdom of priests that declare His praises.  We reflect a Holy God to the world around us. People make judgments on God based on the actions of those who call themselves Christians.  Because of this, it is imperative that we set Him apart in our own lives.  When people look at your life, what do they believe about God?

Jesus told us to pray that the Kingdom of God would come on earth as it is in heaven.  Part of that prayer is your responsibility.  If you want the earth to look like heaven then, as a Kingdom of priests, you need to do your part.  We get a glimpse of it in Revelation 22:3-5.

The Throne of God and of the Lamb is at the center. His servants will offer God service—worshiping, they’ll look on his face, their foreheads mirroring God. Never again will there be any night. No one will need lamplight or sunlight. The shining of God, the Master, is all the light anyone needs. And they will rule with Him age after age after age. 

You become what you behold.  You reflect what you worship.
