The Right Response | The Sounds of Christmas | Pastor Carlon Holder 12.21.2025

Today we continue The Sound of Christmas series by unpacking the powerful meaning behind the classic song “Go Tell It on the Mountain” and discovering the biblical truth it proclaims. Rooted in the testimonies of enslaved believers in 19th-century America, this song carries a timeless message of hope in Jesus that was passed down through stories and songs, not textbooks. In Luke 2:15–20, we see the shepherds’ response to the good news of Christ’s birth, after encountering Jesus, they couldn’t keep it to themselves and went to tell everyone. In this message, “The Right Response,” we’re reminded that Christmas is not about temporary gifts, but about the eternal gift of salvation, and that encountering Jesus should compel us to boldly share the hope we have in Him with the world.
