What If Christmas Was Meant to Offend You?

John the Baptist’s opening words in Luke 3:7-14 are anything but cozy: “You brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the coming wrath?” But what if these bold, shocking words are exactly what we need this Advent season? In a world where spiritual complacency can lull us into autopilot, John’s confrontation is a wake-up call, cutting through our routines to expose the areas where we’ve settled for comfort over conviction. This sermon dives into why God’s truth sometimes offends, how offense leads to transformation, and what it means to truly prepare our hearts for Christ’s arrival. Don’t miss this powerful message—it might just change the way you see Christmas.
