Kicking The Rock

from Crosstowne Church - Sermons

Pastor Paul reminds us that Christmas is not about dates, traditions, or distractions, but about the unwavering promise of God fulfilled in Jesus Christ. Paul uses a metaphor of kicking a rock down a dirt road, to illustrate God’s relentless faithfulness as He carried His promise from Abraham, through generations of struggle, exile, and failure, all the way to Bethlehem—and ultimately to us today. Despite life’s messiness, doubts, suffering, or detours, God remains fully assured and resolute about His plan and His love for each person. We’re reminded that Jesus is the Rock of salvation, present here and now, inviting every heart—no matter how “dirty” the road—to receive grace, hope, and new life. Believers and seekers alike should be encouraged to refocus on Christ, trust God’s unstoppable purpose, and welcome His promises into their lives this Christmas season.For more information and resources, visit https://www.crosstownechurch.com/.
