Sermon Series: The Long Labor of Hope

The Christmas story didn’t begin in a manger—it began generations earlier with parents who thought their time had passed and prayers that seemed unanswered.

Sermon preached by Dallas Flippin, on Sunday, December 7, 2025 at the First Baptist Church of Jackson, MI.
