Unto Us (North OC)

Christmas is more than a story we remember — it’s a reality that changes everything.In this sermon, Marcel Hall reflects on the true meaning of Christmas by focusing on the miracle of Jesus’ birth and the arrival of God’s promised King. Teaching from Isaiah 9, Marcel unpacks how the prophecy of a child born and a Son given reveals who Jesus is and what His coming means for our lives today.Jesus is revealed as:Wonderful Counselor — God’s wisdom made accessibleMighty God — God’s strength near to us in our weaknessEverlasting Father — God’s faithful care and protectionPrince of Peace — God’s restoring presence in a broken and anxious worldJoined by his wife Karina, Marcel invites listeners to pause, reflect, and consider which name of Jesus they need to receive this Christmas. The message concludes with communion, connecting the miracle of the manger to the sacrifice that brings forgiveness, hope, and new life.This message is for anyone longing for meaning, peace, and hope — especially in the midst of a busy and often overwhelming season.00:00 Are You Ready for Christmas?00:36 Looking Beyond the Traditions01:25 A Family Reflection04:11 Isaiah’s Promise of Light06:45 The Arrival of the King11:29 Wonderful Counselor13:52 Mighty God16:05 Everlasting Father19:00 Prince of Peace24:26 Living in the Reality of Christmas25:39 Communion and ReflectionClick here to donate to the programClick here for more sermonsOC Church of Christ
