Luke 3:7-18

The holiday season isn't always merry and cheerful. Many people suffer this time of year, under the pressure to be happy. The celebrations can feel hollow and empty.

If you're struggling this time of year, there is good news, because a real Christmas, a Christmas that God's word prepares us for in the season of Advent, is one that brings real joy–joy that is deeper than nostalgic Christmas songs, merry parties, or cheerful decorations.
