This Christmas sermon highlights God’s providence in the birth of Jesus Christ. Pastor Jim reminds us that Christmas isn’t just about gifts and decorations, but about salvation through Emmanuel—God with us. The message traces how God prepared Mary and Joseph, orchestrating events from Gabriel’s announcement to Caesar’s census to bring them to Bethlehem. It also explores the miraculous conception, Jesus’ humble birth in a stable, and the angels’ announcement to the shepherds, showing God’s active role in human history.

The sermon concludes with three applications: trust God’s providence in your life, share His work through your testimony, and thank Him for His guidance. Pastor Jim emphasizes that salvation is by grace through faith and that God continues to work in believers’ lives today, just as He did in the Christmas story.
