What is the true meaning of Christmas? It is the perennial question heard year after year among the faithful and faithless alike. At the heart of the nativity story is the answer.

Amid the most unlikely of circumstances and to the most unlikely of parents, God incarnated Himself—in the person of Jesus Christ—in order to reconcile sinners to Himself. But exactly why is Christ's birth so significant beyond the affirmation of a historical fact, a theological truth, or a creedal confession?

In this Advent series, Pastor Ronald H. Gann examines the Promise, the Proclamation, the Proof, the Prophecy, and the Premiere of the Christ child as well as the Christmas traditions behind the candy stick, Christmas tree, and wreath.
