Good News Worth Repeating

Christmas is more than a sentimental celebration—it is a divine announcement that salvation has broken into human history. In this message, looking through the lens of the hymn The First Nowell, we trace the declaration of new birth, fulfilled in the arrival of Christ from Luke 2:8 15. From the angel’s proclamation to humble shepherds, to the light of God piercing humanity’s deepest darkness, this sermon follows the movement of The First Nowell as a gospel story worth repeating. Christmas begins with God’s initiative, not human discovery, and culminates in a response of worship and witness. As the shepherds went, saw, and told, we are reminded that good news cannot remain silent—genuine praise always overflows into proclamation. Christ has come, light has dawned, and the King has been born.
