Pastor Seth Troutt invites us into a profound exploration of the Christmas story, contrasting it with cultural claims and inviting listeners to discern its truth. This sermon, part of "The Christmas Story" series, challenges us to see how the Bible breaks down oppressive narratives and elevates unlikely figures—Mary and Elizabeth—as key witnesses to God’s work.

Join Pastor Seth as he delves into these major themes:

00:00 - Introduction and Personal Reflections: Pastor Seth opens the sermon with a personal anecdote regarding his education and early encounters with skepticism toward the Bible.

05:20 - The Unlikely Prophets: Discover how God uses surprising figures, like Elizabeth and Mary, to convey His message and challenge societal norms.

17:49 - Unlikely Partners

22:39 - Unlikely Praise: Explore Mary's faith and her prophetic song, the Magnificat, which declares God's promises as already fulfilled.

Engage with this thought-provoking sermon that invites us to view the Christmas story not as a mere sentimentality, but as a profound reality that speaks powerfully into our lives today.
