This Christmas sermon reframes the familiar words of the season—hope, peace, joy, and love—by grounding them in the person and work of Jesus rather than cultural sentiment. Pastor Blaine explains that biblical hope is confident expectation rooted in God’s promises, peace begins with reconciliation between sinners and God, joy is a deep, lasting reality tied to relationship with Christ rather than circumstances, and love is a self-giving action demonstrated supremely at the cross. Through John 3 and the story of Jesus’ coming, the sermon presents Christmas not just as a celebration, but as an invitation to turn from false substitutes and receive true life found only in Christ.
