Each Christmas I preach on the birth of Jesus Christ. It seems fitting because Christmas is about Him! There is always this temptation or struggle to somehow make this fresh, amazing, powerful.

The Promise of a Savior I’ve written many Christmas sermons. Christmas is a remarkable time of year when the focus of many people turn toward the birth of Jesus Christ.

This message will bear the evidence that Jesus came to save even the lowliest sinner. However, without a special revelation and direction from Heaven man will never experience Jesus as their Savior. The shepherds will first recieve the revelation of Jesus, make a journey for Jesus and finally live their life proclaiming Jesus.

Is there anything worth sharing anymore? Why, yes, there is actually! Even when the world is silent, over 2,000 years ago, God sends excellent news to shepherds as they watch their sheep out in the darkness of night. The angel declares the savior has come in a swaddling cloth lying in a manger. Witnessing the news for themselves, they glorify God and share the news with everyone. This season, we too have something to share, and that is Jesus Christ.

What is Christmas all about?

Over 2,000 years ago, a miracle took place in Israel in the little town of Bethlehem. A young virgin named Mary gave birth to a Son named Jesus, wrapped Him in swaddling clothes, and laid Him in a manger – a feeding trough for livestock. However, even though Jesus was born under the humblest of circumstances, His birth was no ordinary birth, and He was no ordinary baby. He was the miracle in a manger!

LESSON - No room at the inn The crèche or Nativity scene is a beautiful depiction of the mystery that we celebrate today.
