Many of us wonder if we've wandered too far for God to want us. On the night Jesus was born, angels brought the news first to shepherds in a field. In this message from Luke 2, Pastor Lutzer gives three reasons God chose shepherds. God still delights to bring His good news to the overlooked and the outcast.

Angels know a lot, but some things still surprise them. Imagine what it was like for Gabriel to announce that God was coming in the flesh. In this message, Pastor Lutzer shows how angels marvel at God's own humility and His grace. What would change if we worshiped God the way angels do?
