Micah 5:2

December 23, 2024 • Pastor Dan

The real story behind Christmas is often lost behind the hectic Christmas season. It's not reindeer or Christmas trees, and it's not even dinner around a warm table. It's the story of the birth of Jesus: when His earthly ministry began. Today, Pastor Dan shows you how prophecies from hundreds of years before pointed to Jesus' unique and miraculous birth. Everything in God's Word is accurate, and you can be sure when you read it that it's true. The real reason for Christmas is to remember Jesus' birth.

There may be some unknowns in your life that are weighing heavily on you, but as Pastor Chuck Smith said, “Just start walking, and the stone will be rolled away.”

What do you do when everyone around you tells you to do one thing, but your conscience tells you to do another? Will you allow your morals and code of ethics to be compromised by what is convenient, trendy, or comfortable? Today, Pastor Dan teaches that you have a calling in your life. Jesus has called you to follow Him, which might mean giving up some things. It might mean going against the grain of society. In the end, when Jesus calls you to “Go,” there can only be one response… “Where?”
