The First Noel: Good News: Hope > Fear

from Murphy Church Sunday Messages · host Dr. Lash Banks

What are you afraid of today? For the shepherds it was pretty obvious. They were out in the field watching sheep, when, suddenly, the sky was lit up with the angels of heaven. We all have our fears: those pressures, noises, responsibilities, challenges of life that fill us with anxiety and threaten to rob our joy. Sometimes the fear of Christmas even steals the joy of Christmas. But the message of Christmas is that we fear not, because God did not leave us in darkness. This week we continue our Christmas series The First Noel looking at the message of Christmas as told by the angel to the shepherds. Remember Hope > Fear!
