The Great Exchange: The Purpose of Christmas Speaker: Stacey Carver Scripture References: Galatians 4:4–7; Deuteronomy 4:9–10; Psalm 78; Genesis 3:15; John 1:29; Hebrews 9:22; Matthew 1:18–25; Isaiah 7:14; Romans 6:23; Romans 3:23; Romans 5:12–21; 2 Corinthians 5:21; Isaiah 64:6 DATE: 12-14-25 Christmas is far more than a date on the calendar or a tradition passed down through generations. It is a divine rescue mission, carefully planned long before the first star appeared in the sky. This season calls us to remember, to tell the next generation what God has done, and to refocus our hearts on why heaven stepped into earth. Christmas reminds us that God had a plan, paid the price, and made a way where there was none. When we remove ourselves from the center and return our focus to Him, the holiday becomes a holy day—celebrating the greatest exchange the world has ever known. In Christ, Pastor Stacey Carver Harvest Time International Church https://www.theharvestchurchonline.com
