God s Knockout Punch Over Sin and Death

Christmas didn't start in a manger—it started in Genesis 3. The moment sin entered the world, God promised a Redeemer who would crush the serpent's head. That promise was fulfilled when a teenage girl named Mary gave birth to our Savior in Bethlehem.

Think about God's sovereignty: He used Caesar Augustus, the most powerful man in the world, to issue a census that brought Mary and Joseph exactly where they needed to be. A 90-mile journey, nine months pregnant, in the desert—all part of God's perfect plan orchestrated 4,000 years in advance.

Christmas isn't just a story about a baby. It's God's plan of redemption wrapped in swaddling clothes. This Christmas, remember that the greatest gift isn't under a tree—it's the One who was laid in a manger so we could have eternal life.

Join us Christmas Eve, 5-6 PM, for an intimate candlelight service as we celebrate Emmanuel—God with us.
