When we think of the Christmas story, our minds often conjure peaceful, serene images: a silent night, a gentle mother and child in a humble manger, the soft glow of a guiding star. We sing carols about heavenly peace and the sleep of a newborn king.

The full Christmas story is far more complex and profound than a simple, silent night. It is a narrative that contains political espionage, a desperate escape for survival, and the tragedy of a state-sanctioned massacre. It's a story charged with tension, fear, and remarkable courage.

The Christmas season is a season of “giving”. We know that it is the day we celebrate the greatest gift ever given, and that’s Jesus Christ. The most precious gift of anyone. God gave us the very best He had.

Listen as we share the true meaning of Christmas, which lies in a divine gift that offers hope amidst a complex and sometimes harsh world.
