Every year in our fast-paced, materialistic, self-centered American culture, people miss the true meaning of Christmas entirely. They exert all of their time, energy, and money prioritizing gifts, decorations, lights, family gatherings, Santa, and good cheer. Even as Christ-followers, we occasionally do the same. 

But this time of year is about so much more than what's under the tree or who's coming over on Christmas Day. It's about the birth of a Savior in a stable! 

Listen as Pastor Stan takes us into part one of his series "The Cradle, Cross, & Crown" and invites us to pause, step back, and take a look at the bigger picture and the full power and wonder of what we refer to as "Christmas."
