CHRISTMAS – When God Sends the Unexpected

Sermon Notes for 14 December 2025

Luke 2:11 (NKJV)
For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.

1. God Did Not Send a Political Fix — He Sent a Personal Savior

If your hope is in politics, circumstances, or human leaders to fix your life, Christmas redirects your hope to Christ—the only One who can transform you from the inside out.

2. God Did Not Send a Life Coach — He Sent a Redeemer

We don’t need better habits as much as we need a new heart.

3. God Did Not Send an Advisor — He Sent Emmanuel (“God With Us”)

You’re not walking through life with advice from heaven—you’re walking with the God of heaven Himself dwelling with you and in you.

4. God Did Not Send a Judge — He Sent a Lamb

When you feel unworthy, remember: God’s first move toward you was GRACE, not judgment.

5. God Did Not Send a Temporary Solution — He Sent an Eternal Savior

Your problems may feel permanent, but God’s solution in Christ is eternal. Anchor your soul in the Savior who never expires.

TAKE-AWAY:

God didn’t send what we thought we wanted—He sent what He knew we needed. Not a system-changer, but a soul-Savior. Not advice, but Emmanuel. Not condemnation, but a Redeemer. Not a temporary helper, but an eternal King.

“Lord Jesus, I admit that I am a sinner and I need Your forgiveness. I believe You died on the cross for my sins and rose again to give me new life. Today, I turn from my old ways and invite You into my heart. Be my Lord, be my Savior, and help me follow You all the days of my life. Right now, I trust you as my Savior and will follow you as my Lord. Thank You for loving me. Amen.”

If you prayed that prayer and meant it in your heart, you can be sure that you are saved.
