The First Christmas | Breaking The Silence

In order to understand the power, meaning, and significance of the Christmas story, we first have to understand the backstory. In Breaking The Silence, part one of The First Christmas, Pastor Rob explores what is happening in the 400 years of silence between Malachi and Matthew. What we see is that while it seems that God is silent during this time, He is orchestrating a series of events that led up to the birth of Jesus, including the establishment of a common language, the Peace of Rome, and the development of a road system that allowed the eventual Gospel to spread like a wildfire. The lesson for us this season, and really in 2020, is that often the times when God is silent is when He’s doing His best work.
