Sermon: The Gift Is For You | Christmas Eve // Brent Levy

Date

December 24, 2025

Synopsis

In this special Christmas Eve homily, we wrestle with the chasm between the wide-eyed wonder of a child’s Christmas and the sleepless anxiety of adult logistics and existential uncertainty. We discover that the Christmas story is not a distant, sanitized tale but a radical, relatable gift of divine presence. It reveals God drawing near—Emmanuel—to stand in solidarity with us amid the pressure, grief, and disorientation of our modern lives. Joy enfleshed is for you.

Scripture: Luke 2:1–20
