The second of two services of Christmas at Shores Church. If you can think of the best gift you've ever received, it was pretty great right? Can you remember the gift that got away? Maybe it's something you asked for but never received or perhaps something that you never asked for but always wanted.

There are gifts this season we need to be careful not to miss out on. The biggest gift being Christ Himself, but there are some other gifts represented by several people surrounding the Christmas story.
Gold is the ultimate sign of wealth and prestige. Gold is the King's currency and the more the better. Jesus was gifted gold by the wisemen, another practical gift of value AND representing the spiritual value of Jesus as King.
What is the perfect gift WE can give to Jesus this season?
Have you ever noticed that peace doesn't occur naturally? You have to plan for it, prepare for it, be intentional, and oftentimes sacrifice for it. The peace of God came with a price tag that we need to consider together!
Every Gift tells a story. We love a great hand-picked gift from the people that we love. They can be valuable, sentimental, humorous, but they are important because they were chosen just for us. One gift meant so much that it changed the course of history. The story of this gift is one worth sharing! The first gift we see is something you might never had realized what you needed this Christmas season.
