Christ is our King, our compassionate Priest, and our unshakable Anchor in the storms of life. In this Christmas message from Matthew 1–2 and Hebrews, Pastor Ryan Skolrud shows how Jesus steps into our messy world and family stories, feels our grief and fear, and holds us fast when floods rise, loss hits, and life feels unstable. As the promised Son of David, the King of the Jews, and the Savior who will “save his people from their sins,” Jesus invites you to come to the throne of grace, repent, believe, and cling to Him as your steady anchor this Christmas and every day.
Next Steps:
-
I will repent and submit my life to Christ.
-
In my trials, I will cling to Christ.
