Hope Is Born by Pastor Mike Jenkins

This message, Hope Is Born by Pastor Mike Jenkins, uses a deeply personal and historical lens to frame the true meaning of Christmas. Sharing a powerful account of his and his wife Carrie's dramatic salvation experience in 1975, followed by the somber remembrance of the Pearl Harbor attack on December 7th, Pastor Jenkins establishes a stark contrast between a world that can change in a second and a God who offers eternal, unwavering hope. He encourages listeners to shift their focus from the holiday rush and frustration to the foundational truth that God sent Himself—not a theory—to live among us. Into a world filled with the iron fist of Rome, fear, violence, and poverty, hope was born in a quiet stable. The promise of the Prince of Peace means that while trouble may not vanish, it will never have the final word. This Christmas, receive the package deal of hope, peace, and joy that changes the atmosphere of your world and allows hope to arise afresh in your heart. -- Focus makes the difference; what you focus on determines your experience of the season. -- Our entire salvation experience is attached to the hope that, no matter what we face, we do not face it alone. -- God did not send a theory or philosophy to a world of fear and oppression; He sent God in the flesh. -- Hope makes your world warmer and brighter, changing the atmosphere of any room or situation. -- The promise of the child in the manger is not that trouble would vanish, but that trouble would never have the final word.
