In this sermon we dive deep into Luke chapter 2, highlighting how Luke uniquely portrays Jesus’ humanity, His compassion for sinners, prostitutes, and tax collectors—while affirming His divine lordship. Drawing on biblical linguistics, the talk explains that the Greek term “Lord” (Kyrios) carries the same weight as the Hebrew YHWH, making the confession “Jesus is Lord” a declaration of His deity. We contrast this truth with the teachings of Jehovah’s Witnesses and Mormons, showing that denying Jesus’ divinity excludes them from true Christianity. We also critique modern American preaching for diluting the gospel with cultural trends, and recount vivid resurrection details underscoring the physical reality of Christ’s victory over death.
