Christmas is a special time of the year, but why do we celebrate the holiday in the first place? Before anything existed, God unfolded a plan to save us. In this message, we reflect upon why the Word was made flesh. Let’s consider Christmas from a different viewpoint, from far away and a time long ago.

When You’ve Been Wronged
Conflict in relationships is inevitable, but healing and reconciliation often is not. Time and again we've tried every option and failed, and all we are left with is a load of guilt and pain. Pastor Erwin Lutzer shows how the blessing the Lord gives to those who suffer unjustly is worth the pain involved. He also illustrates the need to leave our broken relationships in the hands of God and move forward in our lives toward freedom.

None of us would like to admit we’ve been enslaved. Yet we can be in spiritual bondage to our sin or even to our religiosity. In this message, we take a fact-finding trip about the truth that sets people free. As the angel said to Mary, that’s why Jesus came: to save His people from their sins.

At Christmas, a season of joy, many get caught up in the dark desires of materialism. The Bible contrasts Satan’s realm of darkness with Jesus’ realm of light—light we can fully access. In this message, we find five necessary characteristics of light. Only Jesus can give us the light of true life.
