Carols | Away in a Manger - Brent Parsley

Part 3 of Carols It’s Christmas, carols are playing, candles are lit, and everything feels cozy. But what if the songs we sing and the stories we tell are carrying a much deeper reality?In this message, we peel back the layers of nostalgia and sentimentality to rediscover the shocking and beautiful truth hidden in one quiet lyric: “the Little Lord Jesus.” This isn’t just a cute phrase, it’s a declaration that flips everything upside down.We’ll laugh at awkward lyrics and holiday chaos, but we’ll also confront what it really means to call Jesus Lord. Spoiler: it’s not just about a baby in a manger. It’s about surrender, control, and who truly sits at the center of your life.If you’re tired of feel-good faith and ready for a real, transforming encounter with the King of Kings, this one’s for you.Key Themes:The Lordship of Jesus and why it matters nowPartial surrender vs. full devotionReordering your life around the true centerScriptures: Luke 2, Luke 6, Luke 9, Romans 14, John 14
