Christmas is not merely a seasonal celebration but the climactic revelation of the Gospel—the good news that God, in eternal Sonship, became incarnate as a descendant of David to redeem humanity from sin and death. This divine act, foretold through the prophets, was not a departure from God's nature but the fulfillment of His eternal plan: the eternal Son, who is fully God, voluntarily emptied Himself, lived as a man, and died as a substitute for sinners, bearing the infinite penalty that finite humanity could not pay. His resurrection from the dead was not a mere miracle but the divine appointment that exalted Him as the powerful Son of God, confirming His victory over sin and death and establishing Him as the rightful Lord of all creation. As both God and man, Jesus now reigns at the Father's right hand, uniting humanity with divinity and securing eternal life for all who believe, making Christmas the foundation of hope, reconciliation, and ultimate restoration. The Gospel, therefore, is not a sentimental story but a cosmic event in which God Himself became flesh to save His people, and every knee will one day bow to the name of Jesus, the man who is Lord.

An Anthem for Advent - Philippians 2:5-11 - Pastor John Weigle

The sermon delivers a sobering warning about the dangers of both no faith and little faith, illustrating how spiritual blindness and neglect of God's revealed truth lead to severe consequences. Drawing from Matthew 16:1–12, it contrasts the Pharisees and Sadducees—religious leaders with no faith who reject Christ despite overwhelming signs—with the disciples, who, despite being believers, exhibit little faith by misinterpreting Jesus' warning about 'leaven' as a concern about bread rather than the corrupting influence of religious hypocrisy. The central message is that faith is not optional but essential for discernment, and a lack of faith—whether in unbelief or spiritual complacency—results in blindness to God's work, hardened hearts, and vulnerability to deception. The remedy is intentional, daily engagement with Scripture, meditation on Christ's redemptive work, and communal discipleship, which cultivate a faith strong enough to resist the leaven of worldly and religious compromise and to stand firm in the face of opposition.

This final lesson in biblical apologetics presents a comprehensive refutation of Mormonism as a biblical counterfeit, employing a threefold approach: biblical, internal, and external critique. It argues that Mormonism fails to uphold the preconditions of intelligibility—uniformity of nature, immaterial laws of logic, and moral absolutes—by positing a material, changeable, and pluralistic pantheon that cannot ground these necessary realities. The sermon demonstrates that Mormon doctrine contradicts Scripture on fundamental points, including the nature of God, salvation, and the resurrection, while also exposing internal inconsistencies, such as the fabricated 'Reformed Egyptian' language and the implausible claim of ancient metal-based civilizations in pre-Columbian America. External evidence, including archaeology, DNA testing, and the discredited Book of Abraham, further undermines its historical claims. The lecture concludes by emphasizing that such counterfeits are particularly dangerous because they mimic Christian language and doctrine, thereby confusing the public and hindering evangelism, and calls for Christians to be equipped with sound theology and presuppositional apologetics to defend the faith with both intellectual rigor and biblical fidelity.
