In this heartfelt sermon, Pastor Moni Alaga reflects on the profound significance of Jesus’ birth as the ultimate gift that transformed human history. Reading from Matthew 1:18-23, he highlights the miraculous conception of Jesus as a divine act fulfilling God’s promise of salvation. Pastor Moni encourages the congregation to reflect on the unexpected gifts in their own lives, drawing parallels to the extraordinary gift of Jesus, who came to save humanity and bring hope, redemption, and peace.
Acknowledging the challenges many face during the holiday season, including burdens, anxieties, and strained relationships, he reminds everyone that Jesus offers freedom and peace amidst life’s struggles. Pastor Moni calls on the church to embrace forgiveness and reconciliation, particularly during family gatherings, and to focus their celebrations on the true meaning of Christmas—the love and sacrifice of Jesus. With an invitation to steadfast prayer and renewed faith, he reassures the congregation that Jesus is with them, ready to bring transformation and hope into their lives.
