Unto You Is Born a Savior: The Birth of Jesus Announced (Luke 2:1-8) [Audio]

LifePoint Baptist Church Pastor Jarrod Stotmeister lpforme.com Sunday Morning Sermon Title: Unto You Is Born a Savior: The Birth of Jesus Announced Date: January 28, 2026 Passage: Luke 2:1-8 In this beloved passage, we see God's sovereign timing in the birth of Jesus Christ amid a Roman census. The announcement comes not to the powerful, but to humble shepherds in the fields—proclaiming good tidings of great joy: Unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. Luke 2:1-8 1 And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus, that all the world should be taxed. 2 (And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.) 3 And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city. 4 And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of David:) 5 To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child. 6 And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered. 7 And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn. 8 And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.
