The Story of Christmas: Through thier eyes

Christmas is not just about celebrating a birth, it’s about responding to a King. In Matthew 2, we see three very different reactions to Jesus: Herod’s fear, the religious leaders’ indifference, and the Magi’s worship. This message explores how Jesus, the True King, confronts our rival loyalties, draws unlikely worshipers, and establishes a kingdom that reaches the nations. The question remains: what is your response to the King?

Christmas isn’t just a tradition we repeat; it’s a moment that interrupts real life. In Luke 2, God sends angels to shepherds, not kings or religious leaders, to show us that this good news is for everyone. Jesus comes as Savior because we need rescue, and as King because we’re not meant to run life on our own. When we receive him, Christmas changes us, bringing peace with God, joy that isn’t based on circumstances, and a calling to share the good news with others.

Christmas can be a time of busyness, when we can miss its true meaning. In Luke 1, the story of Zechariah and Elizabeth serves as the bridge between the Old Testament promises and their fulfillment in Jesus. This message shows how God remembers his people, reveals his plan, and rescues the world through the Messiah. Christmas isn’t just a story we revisit; it’s an interruption of grace that calls us to trust and follow Jesus.

Step into the wonder of John 1:1–14. Before there were shepherds, angels, or a manger… There was the Word – God the Son stepping into our world.

In this message, we explore the cosmic side of Christmas: why the Creator entered his creation, and what it means that “the Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us.”

If you’ve ever wanted to see the Christmas story with fresh eyes, or understand why this ancient story still changes lives today, you won’t want to miss this message.
