Christmas Traditions

By Charlotte Clayton and Grace Xu

In this video, we discussed the importance of traditions and how they shape our lives and our faith. Traditions help us connect with each other and remind us of what truly matters. A key takeaway is that keeping traditions helps us stay grounded in our values and beliefs. The Bible teaches us to honor the traditions that connect us to God and to each other, as Paul says in 1 Corinthians 11:2: "Now I commend you because you remember me in everything and maintain the traditions even as I delivered them to you." This verse reminds us that traditions aren’t just customs but ways to strengthen our relationship with God and uphold the teachings of faith.

Reason for the Season

By Nayeli Pereira and Michael Fan

This video explores the true meaning of Christmas, highlighting that it is not just about gifts, decorations, or festive meals. Through a discussion between Michael and Nayeli, viewers are reminded that Christmas centers around the birth of Jesus Christ, the greatest gift of love, peace, and hope to the world. The main takeaway is that Christmas is a celebration of Jesus' birth, inviting us to focus on love, joy, and the hope that His arrival brings.

The Bible tells of the humble birth of Jesus in Bethlehem, where His arrival was announced as a moment of great joy and hope. His birth fulfills the prophecy of a Savior coming to bring light into the world, symbolizing God's love and grace. This story encourages us to share love and hope with others, reflecting the true spirit of Christmas. “For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.” — Luke 2:11 (ESV)

Holiday Food

By Austin Lee and Elyas Huang

Our video talks about food around the world. From places like Asia, USA, Canada, etc. Researching all about the food was very fun and educational. I think God created food for us so that we would not starve to death. He is showing us that he cares deeply about His creation.

“Then Jesus said, 'I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty. '” John 6:35
