Sermon: What Christmas Is All About

🎄 What is the TRUE meaning of Christmas? Join Pastor Justin Wixon as he takes a fun, heartfelt look at our favorite Christmas movies—from Die Hard and Home Alone to A Charlie Brown Christmas and It’s a Wonderful Life—to discover which ones point us to the real gift of the season: Jesus Christ.
In this special Christmas Eve message, Pastor Justin explores why Christmas feels so magical, why family and love matter so much, and how easily we can get distracted by lights, presents, and holiday cheer. Using beloved classics (and even a few surprising picks!), he shows how most stories stop short of the final, life-changing truth: “For unto you is born this day… a Savior, which is Christ the Lord.”

Hear the powerful moment from A Charlie Brown Christmas when Linus drops his blanket and proclaims the Gospel straight from Luke 2—and ask yourself: What do YOU need to drop to fully receive Jesus this Christmas?
Whether you’re wrapping presents, battling the chaos of family gatherings, or just longing for peace, this message will remind you that the greatest gift isn’t under the tree—it’s in the manger.

✝️ Merry Christmas from Alive in Christ Church Lutheran (LCMS) in Marana, Arizona!
