About this listen
This Advent sermon focuses on the birth of Jesus Christ as the fulfillment of God's eternal Word and sovereign plan. The pastor emphasizes that Christmas is fundamentally about God meeting humanity's greatest need—salvation—by sending a Savior rather than a reformer, judge, or soldier. The message challenges believers to reorient their imagination around God's sovereignty and power, recognizing that He orchestrates human affairs to accomplish His purposes. Central to the sermon is the principle that Christians must "believe first, see second"—a counter-cultural stance that calls believers to trust God's Word before seeing evidence. The pastor urges the congregation to slow down during the Christmas season and huddle around the Christ child, gazing upon the profound mystery of God's love demonstrated through the incarnation, rather than being distracted by the cultural trappings of the holiday.
