The sermon for The Nativity of Our Lord (Christmas Day), 2025.
Delivered by Rev. Tab Ottmers.
----more----
This sermon connects the Old Testament tabernacle and John 1 to show that on Christmas, God becomes our dwelling place: the Word became flesh and set up residence among us. It explores how God’s exact blueprints and mercy—fulfilled in Jesus—repair our failed attempts to find refuge apart from Him.
Through Exodus, the Gospels, baptism, and the Lord’s Supper, Rev. Ottmers emphasizes that Christ is the Master Builder who provides true shelter, righteousness, and restoration for sinners, culminating in the hope of resurrection and eternal rooms prepared by the Father.
