About this listen

“Egypt and the Promise of Refuge” is a Christmas sermon rooted in Matthew 2 that centers the nativity story on displacement, protection, and survival. Rather than treating the flight into Egypt as a minor detail, the message focuses on Jesus entering the world as a child threatened by political violence and preserved through refuge. Through a close reading of Matthew 2, the sermon presents Egypt as a place of shelter and preservation, highlighting how the survival of the Christ child depended on the protection and hospitality of unnamed people amid political violence. The sermon calls listeners to trust God as a refuge, to care for their own spiritual well-being, and to practice love for neighbors—especially the vulnerable—as central to the meaning of Christmas.
