The virgin birth is much, much more, than a Christmas story. It’s a story of how close Christ will come to you.
The first stop on his itinerary was a womb. Where will God go to touch the world? Look deep inside Mary for an answer. Better still, look deep within yourself. “Christ in you, the hope of glory,” Scripture says (Colossians 1:27).
Christ grew in Mary until he had to come out. Christ will grow in you until the same occurs. He will come out in your speech, in your actions, in your decisions. Every place you live will be a Bethlehem. Every day you live will be a Christmas. Deliver Christ into the world—your world!

Episode 2.67
What does it actually mean to say that God became man?
In this episode of Take 2 Theology, the incarnation of the second person of the Trinity is explored—who became incarnate, what changed, and what did not. The discussion walks through classic Christian teaching on Christ’s full deity and full humanity, drawing from Scripture, the Chalcedonian Definition, and the Athanasian Creed.
Key theological questions are addressed:
How can Christ be one person with two natures?
Why the incarnation must be assumption, not subtraction
Where Christ’s obedience belongs—in His humanity, not His eternal being
Why debates over eternal subordination matter for the Trinity and worship
The episode also explores whether the incarnation was merely God’s response to sin or central to His eternal plan, and why Christ’s two wills make His obedience real rather than symbolic.
If Jesus is not fully God, worship collapses. If He is not fully human, salvation fails. The incarnation stands at the center of Christian theology—and this episode explains why it still matters.

It's amazing to be of one heart and one mind as believers together! Does God help Christians keep the Law? Why does Jesus intercede for us if our sins are already taken away? Should I drop my health insurance and just trust Jesus?

One of the most shocking parts of the Christmas story isn't the virgin birth or the angels—it's who got invited first. Pastor Levi shares how Shepherds, who were outcasts, couldn't testify in court, religiously unclean, and totally unwanted, were the VIPs at Jesus' birth. This reveals something stunning about God's Kingdom: it operates completely upside-down from everything we expect. If you've ever felt unqualified, too messy, or like you're in the wrong place for God to use you—this Christmas message will show you why those are exactly the credentials Heaven celebrates!GIVE YOUR YEAR-END OFFERING:Be a part of building the Kingdom: https://freshlife.church/give/NEXT STEPS:Ask for prayer or connect with a pastor: https://freshlife.church/contactRegister your decision to follow Jesus and receive free resources: https://freshlife.church/know-godGive a financial gift to support what God is doing as we take steps forward to see the Gospel reach far and wide: https://freshlife.church/giveSUBSCRIBE:Sign up to receive encouragement straight to your inbox, and to stay up to date with announcements, events, and more: https://church.us13.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=6ea4d82b2567db3e86b7767cd&id=451f2fe63eDon’t miss a video!
