Sermons on Christmas
Jesus, the Righteous Branch
Jeremiah 23:5-6 The scriptures are replete with numerous prophecies about the arrival of a messiah, and all these prophecies were fulfilled by the birth, life, death, and resurrection of Jesus. Pastor Doug Link guides us through one such prophecy found in Jeremiah, which states that Jesus came to Earth to rescue humanity from their sins.
Miraculous Conception
Matthew 1:18-25 The virgin birth of Jesus to his mother, Mary, has always been a subject of contention for those who doubt its possibility. Pastor Rod Bunton examines Matthew’s account from Joseph’s perspective and makes clear the reasons behind the necessity of this miraculous event.
Anticipating the Savior
Luke 2:25-35 Luke’s Gospel records the account of a man named Simeon who was told by the Holy Spirit that he would not die before seeing the Christ child. Pastor Ben Khazraee visits this passage and shows why we, like Simeon, should be looking forward to the coming savior.
The Visit of the Magi
Matthew 2:1-12 Well known in contemporary culture as three wise men or three kings, the Bible’s account of the visiting magi is quite different. Pastor Rod Bunton walks us through the story of the wise men who sought to worship the rightful king of the Jews, born in Bethlehem.
Who is Jesus?
Matthew 1:18-25 We know that Jesus is the son of God, but he’s also the son of Mary and Joseph. Pastor Doug Link visits Matthew Chapter 1 to look at the answer to the question, “Who is Jesus?”
Joy of Contentment
Philippians 4:10-20 The Christmas season usually brings high expectations: joyous family gatherings, scrumptious meals, and perfect gifts; and yet reality often falls short. Pastor Rod Bunton visits a passage from one of Paul’s prison epistles to remind us of the joy of true contentment.
What Child is This?
Galatians 4:4-5 In this Christmas message, Pastor Doug Link focuses on a passage that answers the question asked in the familiar carol, “What Child is This?”
For God So Loved the World
John 3:16 One of the most popular verses on the planet to both believers and unbelievers, John 3:16 is referenced when the discussion is about salvation. In this Christmas Eve message, Pastor Rod Bunton breaks it down and shows us that it also encapsulates the entire Christmas story in one verse.
Peace on Earth
Luke 2:8-14 We see it often this time of year in Christmas cards, song lyrics, and our scripture readings: “Peace on Earth, good will toward men,” but what does that mean? Pastor Rod Bunton explores the true meaning of peace — that if we seek peace between each other here on the world in which we live, it starts with peace between God and man.
With Child by the Holy Spirit
Matthew 1:18 A fundamental truth to Christianity is the way through which Christ came to live among us. In this Christmas Eve message, Pastor Rod Bunton examines the miraculous conception that has been attacked throughout history.
Jesus is God’s Greatest Sermon
John 1:14-18 It’s not always easy to understand God nor is it always easy to live with him. Pastor Rod Bunton goes to the Gospel of John for a Christmas-themed message that shows how God helped us with both of those issues by sending his son.
The Perfect Audience
Luke 2:7-11 After the birth of Jesus, an angel of the Lord appeared to shepherds out in the fields. Pastor Rod Bunton teaches why this was the perfect audience to hear the announcement of the birth of the savior.
