Why Christmas Is A Time Of Giving (It's Actually Biblical)

Christmas is often called a time of giving, but what does that truly mean for believers? In this powerful sermon, “Christmas Is a Time of Giving,” we dive into the biblical foundation of giving and discover how this season reflects the heart of God Himself.

From John 3:16, where God gave His only Son out of love, to Matthew 2:11, where the wise men presented gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh, giving is at the core of God’s character. Every good and perfect gift comes from above (James 1:17), and through Christ, we’ve already received the greatest gift of all—eternal life.

This message challenges you to look beyond holiday traditions and worldly distractions to rediscover the true meaning of Christmas. Are we giving for love, or just following human customs?

Learn why Jesus’ birth, though not on December 25th, is still worth celebrating as a reminder of God’s ultimate gift to humanity. Like the shepherds who witnessed the Savior’s arrival (Luke 2:17), we are called to go out and share the good news with others, spreading the light of Christ in a dark world.

As believers, we’re commanded to “go and make disciples of all nations” (Matthew 28:19–20). That begins with giving—the gift of truth, love, and the gospel message. Use this season to reflect God’s generosity by sharing your faith, encouraging others, and pointing them to Jesus, the greatest gift of all. Christmas is more than a tradition; it’s an opportunity to live out the love of God every day.
