Family Christmas Service | Pastor Dan Elkins (Sermon)

Sermon Synopsis, December 23-24, 2024.  When God spoke, breaking the silence at the first Christmas, He gave humanity the greatest gift in history: His Son. The Bible explains what happened in the past, how it affects the future, and how, at the first Christmas, after 400 years of silence, God breaks the silence and sends His Son to save a people from all peoples and give them purpose and peace. Three reasons why Jesus is the greatest gift ever given to humanity are that Jesus redeems and saves sinners from enslavement to sin and to the sinful world, Jesus reinstitutes humanity’s primary purpose, and Jesus restores Shalom inwardly and promises to bring it eternally.
