Christmas Eve 2024

This Christmas message invites us to explore the profound miracle of Jesus' birth and its far-reaching implications. We're reminded that Christ's nativity isn't just about a baby in a manger, but about the eternal God becoming human to save us. The story begins before Bethlehem, with Jesus as the Creator of all things. This divine plan unfolds in three miraculous 'births': Jesus' physical birth, our spiritual rebirth, and the birth of the Church. As we contemplate Luke's nativity narrative, we're challenged to see how the Immaculate Conception and Christ's humble arrival set the stage for our own transformation. This message encourages us to embrace our identity as God's children and to cherish our place in His family, the Church. It's a call to recognize the depth of God's love and to live in the joy of belonging to His eternal community. 0:00 - 6:00 - Chapter 1: The Wondrous Birth of Jesus Introduction to the Christmas story and the eternal nature of Jesus. 6:00 - 12:00 - Chapter 2: The Immaculate Conception and Birth of Christ The story of Mary's encounter with Gabriel and the miraculous conception of Jesus. 12:00 - 18:00 - Chapter 3: The Second Birth: Our Spiritual Rebirth Explanation of how Jesus' birth enables our spiritual rebirth. 18:00 - 24:00 - Chapter 4: The Third Birth: The Family of God The birth of the Church as God's family and our place in it. 24:00 - 30:00 - Chapter 5: Invitation to Join God's Family An invitation to receive Christ and become part of God's family.
