Keeping Christ in Christmas (Matthew 2, Luke 2)

What this episode covers

Steve Smith :: Creekside Church :: Sunday, December 22, 2024 The world often leaves Christ out of Christmas, and even Christians can forget the significance of this “happy holiday.” From the reactions of the shepherds (Luke 2:15-16), saints (Luke 2:25-38) and sages (Matthew 2:1-2) on that first Christmas, we discover that a proper response to Jesus’ birth has 3 features that keep Christ at the center of our celebration. Pastor Steve’s message shows us how the story of our Savior’s arrival inspires us to see Christ, worship Christ, and witness for Christ at Christmas. Steve’s message follows a 4th Sunday of Advent reading by Brent and Allie McLaren. Worship music permitted under CCLI License #264436.
