Hear the messages that Father Jeremiah delivers each week
to the congregation of Grace Anglican.
When the angel appeared to the shepherds, he told them that the Messiah had been born and a whole host appeared and declared the peace had come and was coming because of this birth. This glorious event reminds us that Jesus came to bring true peace and redemption to humanity by being born as a man.

Why would God become man? Father Jeremiah explores this reality in this sermon from Christmas Eve. God is fulfilling his promises through the birth of his Son, Jesus, into this world and the greatest promise is that he will be our God and he will make us his people.

On Christmas Eve, we begin the celebration of Jesus Christ’s birth! We continue this celebration for 12 days and rejoice in the goodness of God to send his Son into this world. Jesus is God incarnate, God in the flesh. And his coming means that a weary world can rejoice in the mercies of God.

Jesus Christ is born! The Son of God has come in the flesh! And thus, the whole world is blessed by this coming of God in human flesh that all creation might be redeemed through his work on its behalf.
