When life circumstances make it hard to feel like celebrating, Keith Simon reminds us that the Christmas story reminds us that God is with us in our joy and pain, as he preaches from Matthew 2:13-23.This sermon is part of our 2024 Advent sermon series. Advent is a time to reflect on how good God is for sending his Son into the world to rescue his people. And it’s an opportunity to think about how much you long for Jesus’s return, when he will make all things new.Don’t let the busy holiday season make you miss the impact this time of year can have on your faith.
