What would you do if you had the greatest news to share? Would you tell your closest friends or shout it from the rooftops? When God shared the greatest news in history, He didn’t go to the rich, the powerful, or the elite—He went to the shepherds.
In this message, Rev. Paul Lawler explores the powerful and surprising announcement of Jesus' birth to the outcasts of society. The shepherds, seen as unworthy by the world, are the first to hear of the Savior's arrival. Through their story, we see how the birth of Jesus transforms lives, offering hope even to the most marginalized.
As the shepherds receive this message of joy and salvation, they are forever changed, becoming the first evangelists. Paul reminds us that no one is beyond God’s love and grace. If God’s good news could reach these outcasts, it can reach anyone.
Listen now to discover how the message of the Savior’s birth invites all of us—no matter our status or history—into the hope and joy of the gospel, just as the shepherds were first to experience.
