Awake, Church | John Bootsma | December 21, 2025

Описание: In this Christmas Sunday message, John Bootsma unpacks the divine wisdom behind the virgin birth and reminds us that God has always had a plan—from Genesis to the resurrection of Christ and into our present moment. The virgin birth is not just a theological doctrine, but a cornerstone of our faith that reveals Jesus as fully God and fully man, uniquely qualified to save humanity. Through Scripture and history, we are reminded that what seems foolish to the world is the very wisdom of God, and that the supernatural foundations of our faith invite us to believe for transformation in our own time.

The message then shifts into a prophetic call for the Church today: to awaken, to guard the condition of our hearts, and to respond with hunger, holiness, and reverence for God. As revival increases globally and spiritually, the Lord is inviting His people into deeper intimacy, repentance, and expectancy. This is not an ordinary season—God is stirring His Church to prepare for what He wants to pour out next. The question is not whether God has a plan, but whether our hearts are ready to steward it.
