Haven't you seen a movie in which you started watching what you thought was the main story only to realize later that there was a much larger story surrounding the one you started watching? That's what Christmas is like. In this message we'll see how the larger meaning of Christmas becomes more apparent as we notice how the birth of Jesus was a historic event, a global event and eventually how it becomes a personal event for all who are drawn into it.

This Sermon was Preached on Dec 8th 2019 at Living Water Community Church in Ypsilanti Michigan by Pastor Clark Cothern
