Christmas is full of music—on the radio, in stores, at church—but we rarely pause to reflect on the deep truths behind the lyrics. In this two-week Christmas series, Christmas Playlist, we’ll look closely at two powerful songs of the season: Joy to the World and Silent Night. Each song carries a timeless truth about Jesus' birth and what it means for us today. Through Scripture, discussion, and worship, students will be invited to move past the noise of the season and focus on the peace and joy found in Christ. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed or excited, stressed or still, Jesus’ arrival brings hope for every heart. Let’s listen closely and discover the story behind the songs we sing.
