GLORIOUS SUNDAY SERMON OF 21ST DECEMBER 2025 LESSON: Isaiah 9:6-7 TOPIC: THE CHRISTMAS AURA. TEXT: When the fullness of time had come, God sent forth His Son. Galatians 4:4 (NKJV). INTRODUCTION: As Christmas draws closer across the world, a subtle yet powerful shift takes place. Time feels different. Atmospheres soften. Even creation seems to respond. This affirms that Christmas is not merely cultural, but divinely permitted. Arguments about dates may persist, yet the purpose remains eternal. “When the fullness of time had come, God sent forth His Son” (Galatians 4:4). Christmas exists because salvation entered time through Jesus Christ. Be blessed by the word. EXPOSITION: [1]. THE SEASONAL SHIFT This season carries a distinct rhythm. Time slows, inviting reflection. Weather and climate, in many regions, calm both body and soul. Music fills the air with hope and remembrance. Social activities increase, visitations multiply, and gifts are exchanged. Scripture reminds us, “For unto us a Child is born… and His name shall be called Wonderful” Isaiah 9:6. These outward expressions reflect an inward divine stirring. The aura prepares hearts to remember Christ. [2]. THE SPIRITUAL OPENING During Christmas, resistance often softens. People listen more. Compassion flows freely. Forgiveness becomes reachable. “The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light” Isaiah 9:2. God uses atmosphere before He uses arguments. The aura creates access to hearts where sermons alone may struggle. [3]. THE BELIEVER’S RESPONSIBILITY This moment must not be wasted. Believers are called to shine. “Let your light so shine before men” Matthew 5:16. Our lives must preach before our words. Use visitations to share truth. Use gifts to express love. Use gatherings to gently present salvation. “Go into all the world and preach the gospel” Mark 16:15. CONCLUSION: NOT JUST A CELEBRATION! Christmas is not just a celebration, it is a revelation. “She will bring forth a Son, and you shall call His name Jesus, for He will save His people” Matthew 1:21. PRAYER: Lord Jesus, help us discern this season wisely. Let our lives reflect Your light, and may many find salvation through us. Amen. GOODWILL MESSAGE: Merry Christmas in advance. May the peace of Christ reign richly in your home. HAPPY MERRY SUNDAY HAVE A WEEK FULL OF MERRIMENTS THIS WEEK, RULE YOUR WORLD SHALOM. JESUS LOVES YOU; AND, HE TRULY CARES FOR YOU.
