Making the ‘Christmas Sermon’ Relevant for Today’s Culture

The Christmas season often brings messages of Jesus’ birth, but are they connecting with an increasingly skeptical culture? Why should people trust the account of Bethlehem, angels, and shepherds if they’ve been told Genesis is merely a myth? The true foundation of Christmas isn’t in Luke 2 but in Genesis, where humanity’s need for a Saviour began with Adam’s sin and its consequence: death.

Bodie Hodge challenges Christians to address these foundational issues, showing how Genesis explains the bad news—sin and death—so people can grasp the good news of Christ’s birth, life, and ultimate sacrifice.
