Christmas 2025: The War in The Manger | Praxis Church Kelowna

What if the Christmas story is bigger and more dangerous than we’ve ever imagined?We’re used to nativity scenes with shepherds, angels, and a quiet baby in a manger. But Scripture tells us there was something else present at Jesus’ birth: a dragon.In Revelation 12, the apostle John pulls back the curtain and shows us the cosmic reality behind Christmas—a war unfolding in the heavens, a defeated accuser cast down, and a furious enemy now turned toward God’s people.This is not a sentimental Christmas sermon. It’s a message of real hope, real victory, and real rest—because the dragon has been defeated, and the Lamb has won.In this sermon, Pastor Josh shares an Advent message that's rarely told: The War in the Manger from Revelation 12.
