Thanks Be Unto God: The Unspeakable Gift of Christmas

In this Christmas sermon, Pastor Steve Baker explores the events surrounding the birth of Jesus Christ, emphasizing the overwhelming praise and worship that erupted from those who witnessed God's redemptive plan unfolding. Pastor Steve examines how various individuals—Zacharias, Elizabeth, Mary, the shepherds, Simeon, and Anna—all responded with spontaneous worship when encountering God's work. The central theme focuses on 2 Corinthians 9:15, "Thanks be unto God for His unspeakable gift," demonstrating how the incarnation of Christ should move believers to break forth in praise and worship. The sermon connects Christ's first coming with the promise of His second coming, reminding believers that Jesus is the reason for celebrating Christmas and that He alone is worthy of all praise, honor, and glory.
