Let Earth Receive Her King | Christmas Eve 2025 (Luke 1:31–33)

What’s wrong with the world, and is there any real hope it will ever be made right? In this Christmas Eve sermon, Pastor Mace Perez reflects on Luke 1:31–33, where the angel Gabriel announces to Mary that her Son will be the Savior, the Son of God, and the everlasting King. At the heart of the Christmas story is a bold claim: Jesus, the Divine Savior-King, has come to save, and He will come again to make all things right. Drawing on the beauty of the Christmas narrative, the deep longings of the human heart for hope, peace, joy, and love, and echoes from C.S. Lewis’s Chronicles of Narnia, this message explores what it truly means to “let earth receive her King.” Whether you’re exploring the Christian story for the first time, returning to faith after some time away, or seeking to deepen your walk with Christ, this sermon invites you to consider the good news of Christmas anew. 📍 Join us in person on Sundays at 10:30 AM The Journey Church Houston 1703 Heights Blvd., Houston, TX 77008 Christmas proclaims this good news: the rightful King has landed—quietly, humbly, and full of grace.
