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.

When we look at the core story of the Christian faith, especially around the holidays, we tend to fixate on that one traditional image. The manger, the shepherds, that very gentle scene.

For centuries, the image of a child in a manger has been the traditional scene of Christmas. We see it on cards, in front yards, and in our minds—a familiar and comforting picture. But behind this well-known tradition lies a true story of profound eternal significance. And it is far more than just a historical event.

In this episode we explore a few impactful truths, that reveal the true depth of the gift God gave to the world. For God So Loved the World, that He gave His Only Begotten Son, the most precious gift of anyone.

The Christmas season arrives with a familiar flurry of activity. Our calendars fill with parties, our homes fill with decorations, and our minds fill with gift lists and travel plans. In the joyful chaos of celebrating, we exchange greetings, share meals, and create memories. It is a time of genuine excitement and warmth, meant to bring people together.

But in all our enthusiastic preparations and festivities, is it possible we are overlooking the very center of the holiday?

In this episode, we share a sobering story from the East Coast, which serves as a powerful reminder of this danger.

There is a cultural trend that seeks to remove Jesus from the holiday, pushing him to the sidelines.

Jesus is the reason for this season, and every other season. This is not merely a slogan for a coffee cup; it is the foundational truth.

Listen and be encouraged to "Keep Christ in Christmas".
