December 28, 2025; Come, Thou Long-Expected Jesus (Christmas Eve Message) by Rev. Brady Whitton; Gospel Reading Luke 2:1-14; www.FirstMethodist.org

This sermon centers on the truth that everything God provides—life, transformation, forgiveness, strength, and purpose—is found fully and continually in Jesus Christ, and that apart from abiding in Him, Christian life simply does not work. Using the image of Christmas lights and the biblical call to “abide in the vine,” the speaker emphasizes that spiritual fruit comes not from self-improvement or effort alone, but from staying connected to Christ through the Holy Spirit. While believers must actively pursue obedience and growth, all true power, maturity, and endurance flow from God's grace in Christ, who remains the unchanging source of everything we need.

Luke 2v4-7 with Tyler Staton At Christmas, we reflect on the birth of Jesus and what it reveals about God's love. From Abraham to the manger, this teaching invites us to consider belief as a personal response to a God who comes near and makes his home with us bridgetown.church/teaching

The question that all of humanity has asked since the Birth of Christ is: "who are you?"

Jesus wants to be our friend. He wants to save us from sin and set us free to love. Listen to my homily to learn more.

The Gospel of Matthew's genealogy is a treasure trove of symbolism, revealing essential truths about Jesus' heritage and mission. In a culture where lineage was synonymous with identity, let’s learn along with the Hearing Jesus podcast, how Matthew strategically crafts his genealogy as a bridge connecting the messianic promises to their fulfillment in Jesus. This was pivotal for the Jewish audience, signifying Jesus as the awaited Messiah who would restore Israel. Ee61.

Good News of Great Joy Culture of Gospel Share this with someone in your life who doesn't know Jesus  Christmas announces that God didn't step into the world to shame us or control us, but to rescue us from what's destroying us, heal what's broken inside us, and give us the life we've been longing for. If that kind of hope exists, it's worth taking a serious look at Jesus. Sermon Summary Introduction: The Eucatastrophe of Christmas Coleton begins with the angelic announcement in Luke 2:8–11, where shepherds—ordinary, overlooked people—are met by the glory of God in the middle of the night. “There were shepherds living out in the fields nearby… An angel of the Lord appeared to them… ‘Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord.'” (Luke 2:8–11) Coleton introduces the idea of eucatastrophe, a term coined by J.R.R. Tolkien, meaning “an unexpected breaking in of goodness that changes everything.” A catastrophe is an unexpected disaster that alters life for the worse; a eucatastrophe is the opposite—unexpected goodness that permanently alters reality for the better. That, Coleton says, is exactly what the angels are announcing. Christmas is not sentimental nostalgia—it is the declaration that something has happened that changes everything. And the angel insists this news is meant to produce great joy. Coleton then asks the central question of the message:  Why should the birth of Jesus cause great joy? He gives three reasons. 1. Jesus Came to Rescue Us from Sin “Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you.” (Luke 2:11) The first word the angel uses to describe Jesus is Savior. Coleton emphasizes that this is not accidental—this is the core announcement of Christmas: a rescuer has come to you. Matthew clarifies what kind of rescue Jesus brings: “He will save his people from their sins.” (Matthew 1:21) Coleton explains that many in Israel expected a rescuer from Roman oppression, but God identified a deeper enemy. From God's perspective, sin is a greater threat than any external circumstance. Sin is not just rule-breaking; it is a destructive power that poisons life from the inside out. Scripture says: “The wages of sin is death.” (Romans 6:23) Sin always pays out in destruction—relationally, emotionally, spiritually. Coleton illustrates this with a personal story from a home renovation: exposed live wires in the wall when his son Teddy was three years old. He wanted Teddy to obey him—but not simply because “I said so.” The deeper reason was that touching the wire would cause serious harm or even death. In the same way, God's commands are not arbitrary. Sin is dangerous. God forbids it because it kills us. The problem is not just that sin is harmful—it's that we are drawn to it. Coleton traces this reality through Scripture: Adam and Eve fixated on the one forbidden tree. Genesis 6:5 describes humanity's hearts as bent toward evil. Romans 7 shows Paul describing sin like an addiction he wants to resist but can't. “Who will rescue me from this body that is subject to death?” (Romans 7:24) Coleton names experiences we all recognize: Wanting to stop being angry but feeling trapped Wanting to forgive but being unable Wanting to stop fearing, lusting, worrying, or discontentment He quotes John Piper: “Sin is the suicidal abandonment of joy.” This is why Christmas is good news: Jesus has come to rescue us from the addictive desire to do what destroys us. Paul answers his own question: “Thanks be to God, who delivers me through Jesus Christ our Lord!” (Romans 7:25) Through the cross, sin's power is broken. “Our old self was crucified with him… that we should no longer be slaves to sin.” (Romans 6:6) Coleton quotes Jackie Hill Perry: “When Jesus died and rose, He gave you power to defeat sin… You are not a slave. You are free. You just have to believe that and walk in it.”  — Jackie Hill Perry, Gay Girl, Good God Jesus doesn't just forgive sin—He breaks its authority and reshapes our desires. 2. Jesus Came to Give Us an Abundant Kind of Life The angel also calls Jesus the Messiah—His job reminder, not just His title. Coleton walks through Isaiah 61, the Messiah's job description: “The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me… to proclaim good news to the poor… bind up the brokenhearted… proclaim freedom for the captives… bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes…” (Isaiah 61:1–3) This describes a life transformed—not patched up, but renewed. Jesus explicitly claims this mission in Luke 4, declaring that Isaiah's prophecy is fulfilled in Him. Coleton shows how Jesus lived this out: The paralytic who believed nothing could change Jairus' daughter, declared hopeless and dead The woman with the issue of blood Lepers, demoniacs, the blind, the broken Every encounter demonstrates the same truth: when people come to Jesus, His job description becomes their lived experience. Coleton makes a bold claim:  If this kind of transformation has never begun in someone's life, they may know about Jesus without truly knowing Him. He shares his own story—how his life changed dramatically after coming to faith. His friends loved the change but resisted the source. They wanted transformation without surrender. He quotes A.W. Tozer: “We treat Jesus the way Saul treated David. We want him to fight our battles for us… but we don't want him to be our king.” Coleton explains that who you believe your Messiah is will shape your life. If the world is your messiah, the world will form you—and it is broken. If Jesus is your Messiah, He will form you into His image—and He is full of life. Jesus doesn't offer occasional help; He offers fullness of life under His leadership. 3. Jesus Came to Remove Our Shame The angel calls Jesus Lord—God Himself with us. Coleton defines shame: “Shame is not guilt. Guilt is ‘I did something wrong.' Shame is ‘there is something wrong with me.'”  — Jon Tyson & Jeff Bethke, Fighting Shadows In Genesis, Moses repeatedly says Adam and Eve were “naked and unashamed.” Their identity, value, and security came from God's presence. Coleton quotes Donald Miller: “All of the glory, all of the security, all of the value that came from God was gone… and for the first time ever, they were pining for something to tell them they were okay.” That's when they hid. God's question—“Who told you that you were naked?” (Genesis 3:11)—reveals the source: shame. Coleton shows how humanity has been trying to silence shame ever since: Relationships Success Approval Humor Anger Perfectionism Underperforming Substances Money, appearance, status All of it is an attempt to quiet the whisper: something is wrong with me. Christmas declares something different: Immanuel—God with us.  Through Jesus, we are welcomed back into God's presence. “Come to me… and I will give you rest for your souls.” (Matthew 11:28) Coleton ends by pointing to the cross: Jesus chose not to save Himself to save us He was broken so we could be made whole He was crucified naked and shamed to carry the shame of the garden—and remove ours Jesus is the ultimate eucatastrophe—the unexpected goodness that changes everything. Questions for Reflection Which of the three reasons—rescue from sin, abundant life, or removal of shame—do you most need to experience right now, and why? In what ways do you see sin acting more like an addiction than just bad behavior in your own life? Where are you tempted to want the benefits of Jesus without surrendering to Him as King? What are some ways you've tried to silence shame apart from God's presence? How have those strategies fallen short? What would it look like practically this week to trust Jesus to fulfill His “job description” in your life?

The post 97. Does the Bible Contradict Itself? Unpacking the Genealogies of Jesus // Christmas 2023 appeared first on South Spring Baptist Church.

Host: Dan Panetti   Chronicles of Narnia - The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe by CS Lewis It's always winter, but never Christmas…   The Hunger Games - how did President Snow go bad?   God revealed His plan of redemption and restoration in the Garden, immediately following man's sin - see Genesis 3:15   The Old Testament of Scripture is FILLED with so many prophecies about the coming Messiah so that man wouldn't miss the incredible gift that God was sending for us - some of the most important of those prophecies are found in the Book of Isaiah in chapters 7, 9, and 53. The prophecy that the Messiah would be born in the “little town of Bethlehem” is found in Micah 5:2.   The genealogy of Jesus, the one born of a virgin in the town of Bethlehem, is found in Matthew 1:1-17. Jesus is a descendent of Abraham, the father of the promised nation of spiritual children, and David, the symbol of the king.   In Matthew 1:3, Jesus is said to be a descendent of “Judah the father of Perez and Zerah by Tamar” - the twins Perez and Zerah are both mentioned in the lineage of Jesus, but for what reason - because Jesus isn't just coming once, but twice - and both Perez and Zerah give us insight into what we should be looking for - first, one who “burst forth,” the unexpected one from insignificance; the second, bearing the scarlet thread on his body.   Christmas - everything points to Jesus…   Christmas tree - gifts at the bottom - and it points to the heavens…with a STAR on top - reminds me of Numbers 24 - Balaam's final oracle - verse 17 - I see him, but not now; I behold him, but not near: a star shall come out of Jacob, and a scepter shall rise out of Israel…   O Holy Night, song by Adolphe Adam   O Holy night! The stars are brightly shining It is the night of the dear Savior's birth Long lay the world in sin and error pining 'Til He appeared, and the soul felt its worth A thrill of hope, the weary world rejoices For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn'   T4M guys - just a reminder that Training4Manhood is a non-profit, 501(c)(3) ministry and you can make donations either via Zelle (info@training4manhood.com) or by visiting the Training4Manhood website.

In celebration of the Savior's birth, author Sally Lloyd-Jones is reading four special Christmas stories from Song of the Stars and The Jesus Storybook Bible, perfect to listen to with your little ones during the excitement of the season. Merry Christmas!    Quotes “Advent means arrival or coming. I'm going to read you stories that are all about the One who is coming and what we're waiting for.” - Sally Lloyd-Jones “All through the long centuries they'd been waiting for this rescuer. Isn't it odd that when at last the promised rescue that everyone's waiting for—when He does at last come into the world, when Jesus is born in that stable, almost everyone is looking the other way. They're looking the wrong way. Almost everyone missed it.” - Sally Lloyd-Jones “What about the animals that God made and the birds and the stars that He put in place? Did they sense it? Did they rejoice in the coming of Christ that very first time? This sense of longing in creation became my Christmas story, and it's called Song of the Stars.” - Sally Lloyd-Jones   Connect with Sally Lloyd-Jones Jesus Storybook Bible Facebook Jesus Storybook Bible Instagram  Sally's website Sally's Facebook Sally's Instagram   *Episode produced by Four Eyes Media*
