17 | The Nativity

18 | The Shepherd of All Shepherds

Christmastime has many fun traditions, but mere sentimentality doesn't help in tough circumstances. Don't substitute tradition for truth. One Christmas truth that carries us through the valley is that Jesus came as the Shepherd of shepherds. Read by Joe Tyrpak.

17 | The Nativity

The Gospels (rightfully) give much more attention to Jesus' death than to His birth (chapters compared to verses). What happened in Bethlehem was the beginning of Jesus' mission and not the climax of it. But it was still one of the great events in human history. God became one of us! Read by Chris Anderson.

16 | Almighty Slept

On Christmas Eve, we consider this amazing aspect of the incarnation: Jesus as God in flesh—the Almighty One who never has need for slumber or sleep—slept. Read by Chris Anderson.

15 | The Angels' Announcements

Angels may be decorative in nativity scenes and Christmas programs, but they played vital roles in the arrival of our Savior. Read by Chris Anderson.

14 | Joy to the World—"Yes! Yes! Yes!"

Why do the Scriptures command us to sing to Lord? And why is it so appropriate that singing is such an integral part of our celebration of Christmas? Read by Joe Tyrpak.
