The Christmas Controversy | Part 1

In this message, Pastor Joey explores the events surrounding Jesus’ birth and the deeper purpose behind Christmas. Using Matthew 1:18–25, he explains that the real controversy of Christmas isn’t the circumstances of Jesus’ birth, but the reason He came at all. God didn’t send His Son because He needed something from us—He sent Jesus because we needed a Savior. Humanity was lost, broken, and unable to fix itself, so God stepped into our world through the miracle of the virgin birth. Joseph’s obedience and the name Immanuel show that God chose to be “with us” in our pain, sin, and need.
