God Is a Giver | Why Christmas Still Gives Us Hope (A Christmas Story)
This episode
Why does A Christmas Story still hit after all these years?
In Part 3 of Christmas at the Movies, we uncover why this classic connects so deeply and how it points to the heart of Christmas itself. Beneath the nostalgia is a powerful truth: God isn’t a taskmaster, He’s a giver. From childhood longing to the Christmas story in Scripture, this message explores what it means to trust a generous Father.
What would you ask God for this Christmas if you really believed He was good?
Recorded live at Crossroads Church in Cincinnati, Ohio.
Hosted by Brian Tome and Alli Patterson and Chuck Mingo and Kyle Ranson
