Christmas Under Attack

What if I told you the Christmas story you know is missing one of its darkest chapters? While we celebrate the peaceful manger scene, we rarely talk about what happened next: a middle-of-the-night escape, a government manhunt, and a massacre of innocent children. This sermon unpacks the shocking reality of Jesus’s first years—a story that reads more like a Hollywood thriller than a Christmas card. We’ll explore why foreign astrologers traveled 900 miles to worship a baby while a paranoid king plotted murder, and what this ancient cosmic battle means for your life today. If you’ve ever felt like your faith is under attack, or wondered why following Jesus sometimes feels like fighting an invisible war, this message will open your eyes to the spiritual forces at work—and show you how to worship anyway, even when it costs you everything.
