What if the lyrics of your favorite Christmas hymn contained the clearest message of the Gospel? In this Christmas message, Alex Kremer unpacks the powerful theology behind “Hark! The Herald Angels Sing.” Each line of the song serves as a springboard to explore the birth of Jesus Christ—not just as a historical moment, but as the divine intervention that offers peace between God and man.

Pulling from multiple passages in both the Old and New Testaments, including the birth narratives and prophetic foretellings, Stefan unpacks the wonder, majesty, and divinity of Christ.
