Faith Comes By Hearing
This Will Be the Sign to You - Christmas 2025 - Luke 2:8-20

In this Christmas sermon from the Faith Comes by Hearing podcast, Dr. Cary Larson explores the biblical account of the angel's announcement to shepherds about the birth of Jesus and to look for the sign of swaddling clothes. The challenge is our human tendency to believe we must earn God's love or bring offerings to the manger, contrasting it with the unconditional grace and aid God offers. There is a connection of the manger to Jesus' later burial in linen cloths and resurrection, presenting Christmas as a celebration of God's gift of salvation through Christ, bringing great joy and peace to all who receive it.
