Pastor Kevin shares about the theme of worship in the Christmas story. Throughout the Christmas story is a theme of praise and worship to God that should lift our hearts in recognition of the wonderful gift God has provided.
Pastor Kevin takes a look at individuals in Jesus’ genealogy that might be considered “skeletons in His closet.” The genealogy of Christ testifies to God’s sovereign power to work His purpose through imperfect vessels.
The story of Christmas draws our attention to three intrinsic elements that are part of the season: family, message, and Savior. The message of Christmas is proclaimed in the context of family, but the real focus is on the one true Savior, Jesus Christ, Who alone can save us from our sin.
The wisdom of God, the fullness of His divine nature, and the fulfillment of His redemptive plan for humankind were all embodied in the meekness and simplicity of a promised child – Jesus.
