“The Angelic Announcement” – Pastor Charles Clemons
This Sunday Pastor Charles Clemons will be teaching from Luke 2:8-24. Imagine being a shepherd on a quiet night, keeping watch over your flock. The stillness is suddenly shattered by a heavenly light and the voice of an angel declaring “Good news of great joy for all people!” What would you feel—fear, awe, excitement?
This passage takes us to the fields near Bethlehem, where ordinary shepherds become the first to hear the extraordinary announcement of the Savior’s birth. The angel’s message is simple yet profound: God’s promise of a Redeemer is fulfilled in Jesus, the Christ child lying in a manger.
But it doesn’t stop there. The heavens erupt in praise as a multitude of angels proclaim “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to those on whom His favor rests.”
Why shepherds? Why this moment? What does this announcement mean for us today?
Join us as we unpack this incredible scene and discover how the message of peace, joy, and hope delivered that night still transforms lives today.
