Most of the best Christmas sermons ever preached have not been preached from pulpits. They have been preached through literature, songs, and other art forms. This series explores the biblical truths illustrated by these great “sermons.” This week we look at Matthew 18:1-5 and Luke 2:21-39. Through these texts and the lens of a beloved Christmas special and movie, we examine what it looks like to view the gift of Jesus as children and people who are clinging to hope this advent season.

Most of the best Christmas sermons ever preached have not been preached from pulpits. They have been preached through literature, songs, and other art forms. This series explores the biblical truths illustrated by these great “sermons.” This week we look at Luke 2:8-20 and the music that has grown from that first “Christmas Carol” that the angels sang to the shepherds in the fields. These carols proclaim the gospel greater than almost any other “sermons” in history, and they remind us to walk in joy all throughout the year.

This series explores the biblical truths illustrated by these great “sermons.” This week we look at Luke 2:1-7 to explore the way that Jesus is placed in the periphery in the Roman Empire at the time of His birth and today in beloved Christmas stories (when He is mentioned at all) and how we as Christians can solve this by clinging to the gospel and goodness of God.

This series explores the biblical truths illustrated by these great “sermons.” This week we flesh out (no pun intended) the nature of the incarnation through the biblical lens of Luke 7:36-50 and Barbara Robinson’s delightful children’s story, The Best Christmas Pageant Ever.
