In this opening message, Dr. Michael Youssef boldly declares that true joy is not found in fleeting happiness but in an unbroken relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ. Drawing from Philippians 1:1–11, he exposes how sin, disobedience, and worldly distractions rob believers of the joy that is already theirs through salvation. With clarity rooted in Scripture, Dr. Youssef reminds us that joy is a gift of the Holy Spirit—secure, eternal, and inseparable from Christ Himself. When nothing stands between the believer and Jesus, joy overflows, faith strengthens, and fruit abounds. This is the contagious joy of salvation—anchored in obedience, sustained by the Spirit, and fixed upon eternity.

Dr. Michael Youssef confronts the central question of Christmas: Why did Jesus come from Heaven? Scripture gives a clear, uncompromising answer—Jesus, the eternal Son of God, came to take away our sin and destroy the works of the devil (1 John 3:8). Christmas cannot be separated from the Cross. Humanity’s problem is not behavior but sin by nature, an inherited disease no human effort can cure. Only the sinless, virgin-born Christ could redeem us. His death and resurrection shattered Satan’s power and offer forgiveness, new life, and victory to all who repent and surrender to Him. This message calls believers to bold faith, urgent intercession, and faithful proclamation of the true Gospel to a lost world.

Science continues to reveal the vastness of the universe—distances and power beyond human comprehension. Yet the Bible declares something even more astonishing: the Creator of it all entered our world as a baby born in Bethlehem. This Christmas message confronts the question modern culture avoids—Who is Jesus Christ, really?

In this powerful service, discover why Jesus is not merely a moral teacher, but God revealed in the flesh—the only Savior who lived without sin, died for our rebellion, and offers eternal life to all who repent and believe. This is not sentimental holiday tradition. This is the uncompromising truth of the Gospel and the real meaning of Christmas.

If you have ever wondered whether God can truly be known, or why Jesus alone claimed to be the only way to God, this message will challenge, clarify, and call you to respond.
