Out of the Ordinary

14. Does God Still Give Good Gifts at Christmastime?


Listen Later

This is the story of a Christmas baby.

This season is all about gifts. We give gifts to one another, and we remember the very good gift of God's son, given to a weary world on the first Christmas Day.

But is God still in the business of giving good gifts?

Lisa-Jo tells the story of her own Christmas baby. It's a story of how shame and sorrow gave way to peace and joy. It's a story of good gifts freely given, no strings attached.

If you feel discouraged, if God's goodness feels a little hard to grasp, we hope you'll listen and be reminded that something as small and ordinary as a baby can change everything.
