Bethlehem

James Gudgeon December, 28 2025 Video & Audio
Luke 2:15
The sermon centers on the divine significance of Bethlehem as the birthplace of Jesus Christ, fulfilling ancient prophecies and revealing God's sovereign orchestration of history. It traces the town's spiritual legacy from the time of Ruth and Boaz to David, highlighting how these figures foreshadowed Christ as the humble yet eternal ruler whose origins are from everlasting. The narrative emphasizes that God's promises, though delayed, are certain, and that the shepherds' immediate response to the angelic message reflects the urgent call to encounter Christ in faith. The sermon underscores the supremacy of Christ over all creation, including angels, and calls listeners to prioritize a personal encounter with Him—through repentance, prayer, and faith—rather than mere religious observance, culminating in the assurance of peace and salvation found only in Christ, who now intercedes in heaven for His people.
