Start the Celebration (3 of 3)
From Silence to Celebration
Craig Smith
Luke 2:8-20
Hey, Merry Christmas. So good to be with you today. Whether you're joining us in person, one of our campuses or somewhere around the world, just a remarkable privilege to be able to spend this time with you as we celebrate the birth of Jesus almost 2000 years ago.
