Good News – A Savior Is Born

From Luke 2:1–11, this message reminds us that Christmas is more than a familiar story—it is God’s answer to humanity’s greatest need. After centuries of silence and waiting, the angel’s announcement to the shepherds declared good tidings of great joy: a Savior had been born.

This sermon explores why we need a Savior, tracing the problem of sin back to the Garden of Eden, and reveals the realities of who Jesus is—the Sinless, Selfless, Sacrificial, and Sufficient Savior. Born in humility yet fully God, Jesus came to rescue sinners and provide eternal redemption through His death on the cross.

The message concludes with a clear call to respond: Have you been saved? Have you called on Christ the Lord? Discover the hope, joy, and life found in the good news that unto you is born a Savior, which is Christ the Lord.

Emmanuel — God With Us celebrates the heart of Christmas through Isaiah 7:14 and Matthew 1:18–23, where God’s promise of a Savior is fulfilled in the birth of Jesus Christ. This message points us to the wonder of the season — that God came to dwell with us, bringing hope, salvation, and eternal life.
