The Message of the Manger

This series will take our church through the message of the manger from mystery to Messiah. Each week will focus on a different aspect of Jesus and His birth, highlighting God’s plan, providence, and provision in Christ’s arrival.

For the first week centering around the profound concept of the Incarnation, wherein God becomes fully man and fully God. While we are invited to delve into the mystery of this divine transformation, it remains an enigma that unfolds miracles and magnifies His majesty, proclaiming Jesus as the Messiah.

The focus extends to the situational impossibilities surrounding Jesus' birth, from the virgin Mary and the lack of room in the inn to the seemingly lowly circumstances. Despite the perceived dire situation, God's fingerprints are evident, showcasing His control, care, provision, and protection over Mary and Joseph.

Additionally, the series highlights Jesus's royalty, emphasizing his lineage from David and the homage paid by the wisemen, encouraging believers to make Jesus the king in their lives and exemplify humility.

Lastly, the teaching sermons underscores Jesus's purpose of bringing salvation to the earth, emphasizing his mission and the recognition of his significance by the shepherds, pointing forward to the transformative impact of his life and death.

By the time Christmas Day is here we’re striving to have a better understanding of the true story, the true message, and the true purpose of Christmas. Jesus’ birth is a pinnacle moment in history, in the Bible, and even for our own individual lives and we want to have it on the forefront of our minds. For those newer to the faith, this series will be a great entry point to see the significance of the Messiah in the manger.
