I Was At The Birthday Party - Justin Evergarden - Dec. 28, 2025

In this lesson, Justin Evergarden explores the significance of Christmas and its historical context, questioning the traditional celebration of Jesus' birth. He emphasizes that while many celebrate Christmas, the true foundation of Christian faith lies in the resurrection of Christ and the importance of a covenant relationship with Him. Evergarden argues that attending a birthday party is not enough; true friendship with Jesus requires obedience and commitment. He highlights the necessity of observing Christ's death through the Lord's Supper and the promise of resurrection for the faithful.
