The Christmas Story In a Nutshell | Full Worship | Bishop Keith W. Reed, Sr.

In this Christ-centered message, Bishop Keith W. Reed, Sr. reclaims the heart of Christmas by guiding listeners through the depth, simplicity, and power of John 3:16. While the world often becomes distracted by dates, traditions, and commercialism, this sermon refocuses our attention on what truly matters—the source, sincerity, sacrifice, and scope of salvation.

Bishop Reed explains that Christmas is not about defending a date but declaring a truth: God is the source of salvation, and His love is rooted in agape—an “in spite of” love that does not require us to get right before coming to Him. Through vivid biblical teaching, he shows that salvation is a gift, not something earned, purchased, or deserved.

The sermon emphasizes that Jesus Christ is God’s only begotten Son, uniquely both divine and human, sent for whosoever believes—regardless of background, culture, class, or past. Faith, Bishop Reed reminds us, is not merely feeling or speaking; it is believing, trusting, resting, and relying fully on Christ.

This message challenges believers and seekers alike to move beyond familiarity with Scripture and embrace the life-changing truth of the Gospel: Believe, and you will have everlasting life.
