This sermon explores how the titles of Jesus in Isaiah 9:6-7—especially Wonderful Counselor—reveal that Christmas is about the arrival of divine wisdom into a world of chaos and confusion. It argues that this "Christmas wisdom" is not merely intellectual, but a transformative power that produces a life of wonder, praise, and freedom from anxiety, unlike any worldly wisdom can provide.

This sermon explores how the Old Testament prophet Micah points to the coming of Jesus Christ, highlighting that His birth in humble Bethlehem fulfills ancient prophecies and demonstrates God's commitment to using the weak and unassuming. It argues that Christmas is ultimately about King Jesus bringing reconciliation and peace with God, fulfilling all of His promises and offering a grace-based relationship that stands in stark contrast to a works-based system.

This sermon explores how the prophet Amos condemns exploitation and the absence of shalom, which is brokenness and injustice caused by human sin.

This sermon uses the Old Testament story of Hosea and Gomer as a powerful allegory for the relationship between God and humanity, revealing that our unfaithfulness to God is like spiritual adultery. It presents the gospel as the ultimate act of redemptive love, where Jesus Christ, the faithful bridegroom, sacrifices himself to buy us back from our enslavement to sin and shame, covering us in his righteousness and restoring our broken relationship with God.
