We live in a world where the name of Jesus Christ is seldom mentioned other than at home or at church. The system of this world has worked to suppress the name of Jesus.

This week's sermon focuses on the great name of Jesus - the name above all names.

The announcement of the birth of Christ came with the promise of peace on earth. Indeed, through Jesus Christ, we find peace and reconciliation with God - a peace the world does not comprehend.
