Christmas cards are often full of warm, fuzzy thoughts that make us say, “Awww.” But the first Christmas wasn’t warm and fuzzy. It was cold and inhospitable. And Jesus didn’t come to inspire heart-warming cards, He came to save lives. Today on A New Beginning, Pastor Greg Laurie has some surprising facts you may not know about the Christmas story. We’ll see the perfect Savior, dwelled in the midst of earth’s imperfection, and accomplished His mission.

During this season, your year-end gifts help us reach the world and bring people to Jesus Christ with the hope of the gospel message.
