O Little Town of Bethlehem

Jerusalem faces conquest after its people turn from God, but hope rises from nearby Bethlehem, a town too small to count among Judah’s clans. God sends Jesus there as the promised shepherd king. His kingdom stays hidden from those expecting political power, yet it reaches beyond Israel to the ends of the earth. Jesus dies for rebels and spiritual exiles, bringing them home to God. Trusting His kingship means turning from rebellion, receiving forgiveness, and finding peace and security in His kingdom. Bible References: Micah 5:1–4; Matthew 2:1–12 Preacher: KJ Tromp
