The Wonder of Christmas Session Video

This year, rediscover the true wonder of Christmas by sharing the love of Christ with others. The Wonder of Christmas book and Bible study centers on central elements of the Christmas story, looking to the stories of real people today to offer inspiration and ideas for reflecting the light of Jesus at Christmas and throughout the year.


In Session 1, Rob Renfroe says that Christmas is a promise that there is more to this world than what we can see or touch, and what made the wise men wise was that they had eyes to see—they recognized the star as the sign that it was. He acknowledges the human longing for “something more” and encourages us to recognize that life is full of signs, all pointing us to God’s promise fulfilled in Christ.

In Session 2, Bert Synder explores the meaning of the name Jesus and the implications of this common yet powerful name for our lives. He reminds us that the wonder of the name Jesus, Immanuel, is that the God who saves has come to be with us—and “us” includes everyone. The wonder of this name is the best gift we could ever receive.

In Session 3, Edmund Robb explores what we can learn from Jesus’ unlikely crib—the manger— that can help to awaken us to the wonder of Christmas. He reminds us that although we tend to romanticize the manger, there was nothing romantic about Jesus’ birth. The humble manger was a harbinger of Christ’s entire ministry, a symbol of his character and his primary mission, which was to restore relationship with us.

In Session 4, Susan Kent helps us explore the wonder of God’s promise to be with us—a promise fulfilled in the birth of Jesus. Through Christ, Immanuel, God has come to be with us, and he has promised that we will never be alone. It’s a promise—a gift—that we receive and also share with others.
