The Practical Promise

The Promise of Christmas - Part 1, The Practical Promise

Travis Gibson - December 7, 2025

Christmas doesn’t promise a perfect life—it promises God’s presence. In The Practical Promise, Pastor Travis reminds us that Jesus came as Immanuel, God with us, meeting us in fear, uncertainty, and everyday life. This message invites you to rediscover the hope of Christmas: not a polished story, but a present God who is with you, for you, and near to all people.
