Christmas
by Rev. Charles G. Dennison
Christmas sermons by Rev. Charles G. Dennison, former pastor of Grace Orthodox Presbyterian Church, Sewickley, PA, on the birth of Christ as Isaiah, Matthew, Luke, and John tell it: the child of Isaiah 9, the two Josephs, the barren women who give birth to children of promise, and the songs of Mary, Zacharias, the angels, and Simeon. Preached across the Christmas seasons of 1987-1995 and drawn from the Dennison Sermon Library archive.

Faith That Waits and Sees
True biblical faith rests on the supernatural birth of Christ, and Simeon shows that faith in Luke 2:25. 1 John 3:2-3 sets out the hope that goes with it. Consumer religion offers something else, while in Christ our salvation is already here.
-
The Law Serves the Gospel
Luke 1:26-56 falls into four divisions, from Gabriel's announcement to Mary's song. Mary and Elizabeth meet, and the old covenant greets the new. The law serves the gospel.
-
Rachel Weeping
Liberals and conservatives alike have walked away from the infallibility of Scripture, and Matthew 2 tests that commitment. Herod slaughters the children of Bethlehem, and Rachel weeps and refuses comfort. God ends all dissatisfaction in Christ.
-
Joseph Gives Way to Judah
Christ's birth reaches back to the patriarchs, where Jacob's Joseph gives way to Judah. The virgin birth shows that Judah could never produce the promised king by his own power. Matthew's Joseph accepts that in humility.

The Four Songs of Christmas
Christ's coming is God's last and new work. Luke 1-2 gives four songs, from Mary, Zacharias, the angels, and Simeon. Salvation, covenant, finality, and humility run through all four.
