Christmas

A variety of Christmas messages from Jill and Stuart Briscoe

Stuart argues that political correctness, while intended to prevent offense, can suppress sincere moral and religious convictions, leading to a shallow form of tolerance.
In this Christmas message, Stuart begins by describing a young East German woman who, after growing up under Marxism and never having entered a church, attends her first Christmas Eve service following the regime’s collapse.
When we hear the word Christmas, many of us think of all the time spent finding the perfect gifts for the ones we love. God’s perfect Christmas gift for us was His Son.
Jill contrasts the “real” King Jesus with the false king Herod, looking at Matthew 2 showing how the wise men recognized the genuine, God-made King while Herod fought to protect his own throne.
Paul urges believers in Philippians 2 to pursue unity, humility, and Christlike love, grounding this call in Jesus’ self‑emptying and exaltation. Stuart illustrates how seemingly ordinary events like history...
Did you know you can find Christmas in the book of Hebrews? Jill reflects on the Christmas story by weaving together Luke 1 and Hebrews, highlighting the greatness of Jesus...
Human beings consistently rank peace on earth and family security as their highest values, yet both remain fragile because we often misunderstand peace as the absence of tension rather than the presence of God’s wholeness.
C.S. Lewis’s image of “winter without Christmas” captures a world that celebrates the season yet misses its Savior, leaving hearts cold beneath all the glitter.
Zechariah’s words in Luke 1 highlight that God has “visited” us in Jesus—not as a brief drop in, but as one who comes to stay, bringing the dawn of salvation into our darkness.
Jill reflects on the theme of meekness and majesty at Christmas, using poetic imagery such as “the great God our Father came down the staircase of heaven with a baby in his arms” to show the wonder of the Lion of Judah...
In a world that feels like an accident, we have HOPE! This powerful Christmas message reminds us that we’re not just random atoms colliding. We have a God who rules, loves, and promises eternal life to those who seek Him—from darkness to light, from despair to hope.
In a society that prefers soundbites and slogans over substance, the truth is often a victim. This is particularly true at Christmas when the majestic truth that “the Word became flesh” is often obscured by superficial slogans and soundbites.
