Friday - Luke 2:15-20  The 2nd Day of Christmas15 When the angels had left them and gone into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, “Let's go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has told us about.”16 So they hurried off and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby, who was lying in the manger. 17 When they had seen him, they spread the word concerning what had been told them about this child, 18 and all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds said to them. 19 But Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart. 20 The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things they had heard and seen, which were just as they had been told.

Luke 2:17

On Christmas, we celebrate the good news that the Light of the world has come—not to a palace, but to a manger, and not to the impressive, but to the weary. Walking through Luke 2 and Jesus' declaration in John 8, we see how God enters real darkness with real hope. The Light didn't wait for us to find our way out; He came looking for us.The sermon is available for you at Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or bridge.tv/sermons.To support this ministry and help us continue our God given mission, click here: http://bit.ly/2NZkdrC Support the show

Christmas Eve: Luke 2:8-12 (Nate Edmondson) by Highlands Community Church

And Jesus kept increasing in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men. – Luke 2:52

Why did Jesus come into the world? Who did he come for? Luke 2 answers with an unexpected announcement to the despised of society – to lowly shepherds just trying to make it through the night. And with an anticipated gift to the forgotten of society - to a dying man and elderly widow holding onto old promises and refusing to let go. What does a story involving the despised and forgotten have to do with Jesus' birth? Everything. It's what Christmas is all about.

Thursday - Luke 2: 8-14 Christmas DayAnd there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. 9 An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. 10 But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. 11 Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord. 12 This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.”13 Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying,14 “Glory to God in the highest heaven,    and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests.”

Gregg DeMey, Lead Pastor

 15 And it came to pass, after the angels departed from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another: Let us go over to Bethlehem, and let us see this word that is come to pass, which the Lord hath shewed to us.Et factum est, ut discesserunt ab eis angeli in caelum : pastores loquebantur ad invicem : Transeamus usque Bethlehem, et videamus hoc verbum, quod factum est, quod Dominus ostendit nobis. 16 And they came with haste; and they found Mary and Joseph, and the infant lying in the manger.Et venerunt festinantes : et invenerunt Mariam, et Joseph, et infantem positum in praesepio. 17 And seeing, they understood of the word that had been spoken to them concerning this child.Videntes autem cognoverunt de verbo, quod dictum erat illis de puero hoc. 18 And all that heard, wondered; and at those things that were told them by the shepherds.Et omnes qui audierunt, mirati sunt : et de his quae dicta erant a pastoribus ad ipsos. 19 But Mary kept all these words, pondering them in her heart.Maria autem conservabat omnia verba haec, conferens in corde suo. 20 And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God, for all the things they had heard and seen, as it was told unto them.Et reversi sunt pastores glorificantes et laudantes Deum in omnibus quae audierant et viderant, sicut dictum est ad illos.

Christmas Eve. Sermon by Pastor Nathan Alley The post God With Us (Immanuel) // Isaiah 7:14, Luke 2:12 first appeared on Applewood Community Church.

God Chose The Shepherds To Announce The Coming Messiah Luke 2:8-11 8And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. 9An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. 10But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. 11Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord.

Readings: Isaiah 9:2-7 | Titus 2:11-14 | Luke 2:8-20 | Psalm 96. Preached for Christmas Eve (2025-12-24).

In our sin, we are all like the shepherds: "children of the dirt" with no ladder to climb to reach God. In this Christmas meditation, we look at the beauty of the Gospel that shines in the dark and lowly places of our lives. Discover why the announcement to the shepherds wasn't an accident, but a proclamation that the message of salvation is for all people.

Christmas Eve - "Angel's Song" (Luke 2:14) 12/24/25 (Jason Swain) by TwoRiversChurch FoCo

Until this point in our studies of Luke's nativity narrative, we have been exposed to the announcement of John the Baptist's conception (1:5–25) and his birth (1:57-80). We have also been exposed to the angelic announcement and actual virgin conception of the promised Saviour, Jesus (1:26–56). In this study, we conclude these advent studies with the birth of the God-Man: Jesus (v. 21), the Saviour who is Christ the Lord (v. 11). This is historically certain and certainly historic. We consider three truths from this text: 1. The Incarnation is Certainly Historical (vv. 1–7) 2. The Incarnation is Certainly Historic (8–14) 3. The Incarnation Requires a Certain Response (vv. 15–21)

Add in the family, financial, and emotional stress that often comes with the season, and it all can start to feel overwhelming.Sometimes it feels like your calendar is full, but your soul is empty. We want to help you slow down and treasure Jesus this Christmas-after all, He's the reason for the Holiday.Today we treasure the savior, the greatest gift ever.Support the show

Today’s Bible Verse: “Coming up to them at that very moment, she gave thanks to God and spoke about the child to all who were looking forward to the redemption of Jerusalem.” — Luke 2:38 Luke 2:38 introduces us to Anna—a woman whose long faithfulness turned into bold testimony. After years of worship, prayer, and waiting, she recognized the Savior and couldn’t keep the news to herself. Her response was gratitude followed by proclamation. Want to listen without ads?

In Luke 2, the birth of Jesus unfolds against the backdrop of empire, power, and divine promise. As Caesar Augustus issues a decree meant to display his authority, God sovereignly fulfills His own—bringing the true King into the world through humility, obedience, and grace.   This sermon traces the contrast between earthly power and heavenly kingship, showing how God orchestrates history to keep every promise He has made. From Joseph's righteousness and Mary's quiet faith, to a Savior laid in a manger and announced first to shepherds, we see that God's purposes are not hindered by obscurity or suffering.   Jesus is revealed as the true Son of God, the greater Savior, and the Prince of Peace—bringing peace not through dominance, but through the giving of His own life. The good news announced to the shepherds is still good news for us today: God is faithful, His promises are sure, and this Savior in the humble manger has been born for you.

Program for 12/24/2025 Christmas 2025: Luke 2:1-20

And Jesus kept increasing in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men. – Luke 2:52

Send me a Text Message!DON'T LISTEN TO THIS -- If you are going to Christmas Eve services at Calvary Harvest Fields. :) It's not exactly the same, but similar!But if you aren't going to Christmas Eve services at Calvary, I hope that this episode encourages you with the Christmas truth that Jesus is on a mission to bring you home for Christmas!

In this concluding Advent sermon, Pastor Steven reflects on Mary's role in the fulfillment of God's promises, tracing the movement from Eve to Mary through faith, hope, and love. From the temple encounters in Luke 2 to Mary's lifelong devotion to her Son, this message shows how God reverses the curse through blessing and calls His people to live not from fear or duty, but from trusting faith, living hope, and devoted love in Christ.

Luke 2:17-20

Today’s Bible Verse: “Moved by the Spirit, he went into the temple courts. When the parents brought in the child Jesus to do for him what the custom of the Law required, Simeon took him in his arms and praised God.” — Luke 2:27–28 (NIV) Luke 2:27–28 highlights the beauty of a life attentive to the Spirit. Simeon had waited faithfully for God’s promise, and when the moment arrived, he recognized it—not because of spectacle, but because he was listening and obedient. Want to listen without ads?
