In this opening message of Who Needs Christmas?, we look beyond the lights and traditions to the deeper story God has been writing all along. Tracing the Christmas story back before Bethlehem—to Abraham, Israel’s waiting, and centuries of silence—this sermon reminds us that God is never late and never absent. What feels like delay is often divine preparation. What feels like silence is not stillness. This message is for anyone carrying disappointment, uncertainty, or unmet expectations into the season.
