We don't have Christmas without this part of the story.

The story of Christmas is often told as warm and familiar, but Scripture reminds us that it began with tension, risk, and trust. In Matthew’s account of Jesus’ birth, we encounter Mary and Joseph facing circumstances that could have unraveled their lives—and yet, they remain faithful. From God’s ancient promise through Isaiah, to Mary’s courageous “yes,” to Joseph’s quiet obedience, this sermon explores how faithfulness is woven into the very heart of the Christmas story. Advent invites us to wait, trust, and remain faithful, because God has proven himself faithful to us.
