Christmas In The Shadows

Christmas is often wrapped in lights, music, and smiling face, but the first Christmas didn’t happen in the spotlight. It happened in the shadows.

In this special New Beginnings Live episode, Pastor Tom Sears takes us back to the raw reality of the first Christmas, a world marked by oppression, silence, fear, and waiting, and reveals a powerful truth: Jesus didn’t arrive when everything was right; He arrived when everything was broken.

Drawing from John 1:5, Isaiah 9:2, and Luke 2, this message explores:

• Why God sent His Son into darkness, not decoration
• Why the first announcement of Jesus went to overlooked shepherds
• Why the Savior was placed in a manger instead of a palace
• How Christmas is the beginning of God’s rescue mission, not the end of the story

If you’re carrying heaviness this season, feeling unseen, or wrestling with questions of faith, this message is for you.

Darkness is not a disqualifier for God’s presenc, it's often where He shows up first.

Light has come. The question is: what will you do with it?
