Faith Presbyterian Church - Birmingham

What if the most important gift under the tree arrived with a card that told you exactly why you needed it? We walk from Isaiah’s ancient promise to a Bethlehem manger and discover why the name Jesus changes how we see our ache, our efforts, and our hope. Instead of vague comfort or seasonal glow, we talk plainly about the gap we all feel between who we are and who we want to be—and why the diagnosis goes deeper than stress, busyness, or circumstance.This conversation is for listeners who came hoping for comfort, who showed up out of tradition, or who aren’t sure what they believe. We talk about sin as separation, the limits of willpower and new beginnings, and the unique claim of Christianity: you are made right with God not by steps but by a person who did what you could not do. The gift is given, not earned. It is for us—personal, specific, and available now.If this resonates, share it with a friend who needs hope tonight.
