Title:

Description:

Sermon start time: 03:30. Sermon end time: 21:15.
The preacher names many things in life that are not perfect and not yet a reason to rejoice; and yet, he argues that Christmas is a time of fullness and joy, for God has fulfilled his promise of Immanuel through the nativity of Jesus Christ. (Abstract created by Duke Divinity School staff.)
Key quotation: “Joy, real joy, it cannot be self or chemically induced. It’s got to come from the outside as a gift. Real joy is always reflexive. Joy comes to us as a baby. God with our face. God with us.”
